Re: What is the difference between respect and aspect as nouns ?

CalifJim — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 17:08:57 GMT

With regard to those two definitions from Oxford, think of respect as way; think of aspect as way of looking at something or way of considering something.

In this [respect / way] we are very fortunate. There was one [respect / way], however, in which they differed.

The book aims to cover all [aspects of / ways of looking at / way of considering] city life. The most important [aspect of / way of considering] the debate. She felt she had looked at the problem from every [aspect / way of looking at it / way of considering it]. This was one [aspect of / way of considering] her character he hadn't seen before.

Note how common aspect of is. respect is not as commonly used with of.

Re: lower; below; less (in regard to temperature)

I don't see anything wrong with your proposed sentences or the suggested modifications.

Is there any subtle difference between the two I should be aware of?

Not that I can see.

More formally and generally speaking, would it also be acceptable to say: "She refuses to let her tenants adjust the thermostat to suit / meet their individual needs"?

I don't think they are more formal but either of these forms is certainly acceptable.

lower; below; less (in regard to temperature)

Hi, which of the following sentences do you prefer and why?

1. Due to her extreme dislike of cold temperatures, she refuses to let her tenants set the thermostat below 25 C.

2. (...) she refuses to let her tenants set the thermostat anywhere below 25 C.

2. (...) she refuses to let her tenants set the thermostat any lower than 25 C.

4. (...) she refuses to let her tenants set the thermostat to less than 25 C.

Also, in each case, would it be preferable to say "she won't let her tenants..." rather than "she refuses to let her tenants..."? Is there any subtle difference between the two I should be aware of?

More formally and generally speaking, would it also be acceptable to say: "She refuses to let her tenants adjust the thermostat to suit / meet their individual needs"?

Three short simple questions.

Hi guys,

I just have a question about three different phrases, which are being used a lot and I still don't know what they mean exactly..

a) Help me / help me out..what's the difference?

Especially from Americans, I often hear..."Hey man, can you help me out?" Or yesterday, I watched a movie, where FBI agent said: "Excuse me, I'm agent Taylor, I'm looking for someone, can you help me out?" What's the difference between help / help out?

b) try and do something..

Again I hear very often, for example, If your children are over the age of 18 we will try and contact them to let them know of your interest. Or another example, But to try and reach them while also targeting younger audiences is a mistake. If I try and do something, what am I actually doing?

c) There are N ....and counting.

- There are 10 000 members and counting.

- There are 18 Santas in that shop and counting.

Does that "and counting" mean "and increasing"??

Please guys, clear these phrases up for me..

regards

adjectives

Hela — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 15:06:14 GMT

Dear teachers

1) When do you use "government" and "governmental" as adjectives ?

Would you say "government forces" or "governmental forces"

2) Do all the following adjectives mean the same or is there a difference between them?

What are the best equivalents of "episodic violence" : sporadic fighting, spasmodic / intermittent violence, periodic attacks ?

Would you say that "episodic, spasmodic, intermittent events" happen occasionally and at irregular intervals, while "periodic events" are occasional but happen at regular intervals ?

Best regards,

Hela

Re: country and nation as in China, Canada, etc.

Actually, there is a notable difference between these words. It has to with the question of what particular thing it is that you want to put stress on.

Nation: people that share the same history, language and culture and feel close to each other.

Country: the area that is defined by its legal status.

For example, there are Quebec people in Canada. They are traditionally francophone. While Quebec has much autonomy, it is not considered a country. It's considered a nation. Language, culture and history define their bond, not borders (it's a region within Canada). Thus, it may happen that in one country several nations live. Think of countries in Africa. Tribes that were culturally and linguistically unrelated were put together into one country.

Say if I want to tell my friends that I want to have our weekly meeting at their place this week, will it be more correct to say "It may be better to have the meeting at your place this week"? rather than "It might be better to have the meeting at your place this week"?

Is there a difference between the two?

to infinitive or to gerund

Nddad — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 01:53:12 GMT

What do you say to + â¼ ing ?
be opposed to + â¼ ing
object to + â¼ ing
have an objection to + â¼ ing
contribute to + â¼ ing
turn one's attention to + â¼ ing
with a view to + â¼ ing
be equal to + â¼ ing
devote A to + â¼ ing
look forward to + â¼ ing
fall to + â¼ ing

From above, "to" is a preposition, not infinitive.

How do I tell the difference between " to infinitive and to gerund " ??

Pls let me know it.

Thanks & Regards

Re: "Picture" vs. "Image" ???

Osee — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 16:13:21 GMT

The common format for digital photo is JPG, and, by my point of view, we do say JPG picture to indicate the format of a digital photo in real life.

For me, in a way, image sounds more academic than picture.

JCDenton

That's really good question! ..:-)

In my opinion the difference between these two words is in the situations where they are being used....

Picture:

This word is being used mostly for the photos from the camera...Not even from the digital camera.

Image:

- Word Image is widely used especialy in the IT world. GIF, BMP images and so on. Personally I have never heard the combination GIF picture or BMP picture...:-)

- Word Image you can also use for the behaviour description of the particular person....He's creating an image of himself as leader person.

The meaning of these two words is the same, but you have to take to the consideration the situation, where you want to use them...
