Re: Exact Word

khoff — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 06:00:47 GMT

"Intersex" is a word currently used to describe people who have some male characteristics and some female ones, or people who identify with both (or neither) genders. "Androgynous" is another possibility. "Hermaphrodite" is medical term to describe someone who has both male and female genitalia. "Two-spirit" is a term used in some Native American cultures. You could look up these words online and decide which is the closest to the meaning you are looking for. "Genderqueer" is another current term for someone who does not fit either of the traditional genders, but I don't think this is used very widely. Of all these possibilities, my guess is that "intersex" is probably the...

Re: Pronouns and indirect speech uses

vorpar — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 18:44:25 GMT

Those particular slips are ones that native speakers don't usually make. The most common native slips I hear are: irregardless (not a word, it's regardless) and supposably (pronounced supposedly). Misplacing the verb isn't a big deal. It's noticeable and may be slightly confusing, but most people will understand the speaker. Work on gender words, English doesn't have very many, and it may cause confusion to use the wrong one.

Re: Rahel is Estha's female fraternal twin

yankee — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 00:29:06 GMT

Estha is Rahel's male fraternal twin. Rahel is Estha's female fraternal twin . What if I delete this word? Will the sentence remain intact? Hi Tom Since I'm not familiar with either one of those names, if I had to guess the genders of the two people based on name alone, I'd guess that Estha is female and Rahel is male. Your sentences tell me (1) that my guess would have been incorrect, AND (2) that Estha and Rahel are (fraternal) twins. Generally speaking, if you simply say "twins" (i.e. without the word "fraternal"), I think most people will usually assume you are referring to "identical twins" (i.e. both the same gender).

What is the rule? I don't think there is a rule. You just have to memorize the few nouns in English that are customarily given a gender. Note that you won't be considered wrong if you use "it" to reference such a noun. For example, if you said of a submarine that "it is hiding" only the most pedantic would correct you. Here are a couple of Web pages that discuss the issue: http://www.edufind.com/english/grammar/NOUNS1.cfm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_in_English

In William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, we learn a large amount of characteristics about young Hamlet’s character. During act five, the gravedigger scene, I feel we learn the most. Shakespeare gave the readers a great deal of information during this scene. We learn about hamlets true love for Ophelia, Hamlets interest in death, Hamlets sensitive and sneaky personality, and Hamlets true age. All of this information helps us put together the entire play, and allows us to understand the play in its entirety. Throughout the entire play, Hamlet’s love for Ophelia was questioned. Hamlet finally shows his true love for Ophelia during Ophelia’s funeral. Hamlet expressed to everyone , that he truly loved Ophelia. This shows that he...

Re: Indefinite pronoun

huevos — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 23:02:40 GMT

I have always known that after an indefinite pronoun, namely "everyone," "somebody" etc, the correct possessive pronoun to be used is "their." E.g.: Everyone should always do their best. However, the "Canadian Coles Notes Study Guide - English Grammar" states that this information is incorrect. According to the book, the accurate sentence would be : Everyone should always do his best. In my opinion grammars should observe the language rather than try to dictate it. Unfortunately in this case that is not so. The problem is caused by a fault in the English language: there is not a gender-free singular possessive adjective which can be used for a person. Since "everybody/somebody" is...

Re: How to use the word "everyone" in a sentence?

philip — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 23:31:07 GMT

If the subject is "Everyone", and you are talking about several people, would you use "they" or "his/her" later in the sentence? Because of the very nature of our language, A 's answer may seem a bit confusing, but it's about the best one can do, since we don't have a gender-neutral pronoun in the singular. I would just add a pet irritation that I encounter when "everyone" is used in the negative. All too often, we see "everyone isn't here yet, so we can't begin". To me, this reads that the place is empty. The better negative sentence would be "not everyone is here yet....".
