Perhaps you were referring to zealots, as both "zealotes" and "zealous" are derived from the same Greek word. Were zealots good or bad? Well it depends whether you study the history of the Roman empire or not, I suppose.</description></item><item><title>Re: How to improve my writing?</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/HowToImproveMyWriting/djqcx/post.htm#299526</link><pubDate>Fri, 01 Dec 2006 12:07:50 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:299526</guid><dc:creator>tommyt</dc:creator><description>I agree with Nona.

If they are, the changes will be between (not among, as there are more than 2 states). If they aren't, then it will change into. 
 "What are three states matter changes with?" - technically, there is nothing wrong with this sentence, proving that there exist three states (???) that change together with the matter</description></item><item><title>Re: demutualize</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/Demutualize/dwlkx/post.htm#299515</link><pubDate>Fri, 01 Dec 2006 11:35:36 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:299515</guid><dc:creator>tommyt</dc:creator><description>It depends on the meaning you want to convey. If you want to say that you are moving from some sort of a mutual society, then you say demutualize. However, if you want to say that you move to a company, you may use incorporate.</description></item><item><title>Re: sentence</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/Sentence/djpcg/post.htm#299514</link><pubDate>Fri, 01 Dec 2006 11:29:21 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:299514</guid><dc:creator>tommyt</dc:creator><description>The sentence is correct. 
 However, it sounds strange - How about about?. Also you would want to use it when asking someone, in a potentially rude way, to finally give their opinion instead of doing something else - for example talking about someone else's opinion. Generally, you don't want to ask for opinions by saying "how about you give me your opinion (for a change)".</description></item><item><title>Re: comma, finally</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/CommaFinally/djpjh/post.htm#299513</link><pubDate>Fri, 01 Dec 2006 11:23:27 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:299513</guid><dc:creator>tommyt</dc:creator><description>Perhaps you may put commas around finally if you want to emphasise that your dog has FINALLY come home.</description></item></channel></rss>
