let me take a dab - as i am preparing for some standardized exam. my take is only 1500 will be cut. while 7500 remains. that means there were 9000 to begin with in that town. anyone else ? thanks

I found some posts in the past, and it seems that the responses at the time by grammar geek and other native speakers were different from those of yours (james) and the other person's.  At least in the posts I found, "I have my eye on

I think this subject was discussed in the past. Unfortunately, I couldn't find it so here I am posting it again. Do we say " I'll have my eye on you " or  " I'll have my eyes on you" ? I think this is a derivative

I remember hearing this all the time "hope all IS well" ? I assume maybe the "all" here refers to something intangible, and as such unaccountable and was followed by "is" ?? Can anyone explain it? Thanks

Thanks a ton, Avangi. I can be very wrong on this, but my feeling is that the word "question" and "basic" have taken a different meaning in the science lingo that scientists know exactly what these words refer to without

Thanks a lot, guys. So Avangi (or anyone who wants to pitch in), how would you phrase your sentence to convey the same meaning as that in (a) ? Again, thanks for the input.
