Belly  +  545482 Wed, 23 Jul 08 03:13 PM 1) I'm looking for a noun that desbribe this process: You use too much dose of  a kind of drug that the viruses in your body get used to it. 2) I'm looking for a verb here: You are from another country, if you want to settle down in America, your relatives must__ so that you are eligible to come over there for immigration. 3) What is the difference between / Ou/ and /O/? How different when people pronounce Rico with an /o/ and an /O/ ? 4) A man who was run over by a car has his entrails a mess. Is there any adj replace for "a mess" in this sentence? ( they are badly run over and people can't realize their shape anymore because they have been twisted so much) Thanks in advance Belly Joined on Mon, Feb 19 2007 Regular Member 630 Verbs, Difference Between, Nouns

	New2grammar  +  545529 Wed, 23 Jul 08 04:28 PM Philip “You develop an immunity. ” Does this mean you're immuned to the virus? In other words, when you're exposed to the virus, you won't get sick? Or the drug is no longer effective in fighting the virus? New2grammar Joined on Tue, Nov 21 2006 Veteran Member 7,676 Who wants to go sailing around the world with me?

	Grammar Geek  +  545545 Wed, 23 Jul 08 05:33 PM You can develop an immunity to the virus. That means you won't get sick. The strain of the disease can also develop an immunity to the drugs used to treat it. In that case, you can also say it's "drug-resistant." When you stop taking your medication when you feel better, instead of when you have completely killed the "bug" you are in fact making the bug stronger for the next time you have to fight it. You are helping it become drug-resistant. Grammar Geek Joined on Tue, Jan 10 2006 Veteran Member 19,683 Barbara, who answers in American English.
