In most businesses, the answer is 'yes'-- and you will not have your job long if you cannot work to deadlines. Not to argue, but I don't know any company that would give extremely rushed deadlines to lose accuracy. Many companies would rather have accurate, correct work from say...their accountants than have their accountants rush their work, find errors, and delay the project even more.\ Deadlines are often in days, not minutes. For instance, a programmers deadline may be 3 days away. However, he has all the 42 hours he needs to work on his code. You must admit, the SAT time limit is ridiculous. I've scored high on every assessment test I've had...http://www.englishforums.com/English/SatPractise/mkdv/post.htm#62093Sat, 18 Dec 2004 03:08:01 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:62093wushuWhy does the SAT offer so little time? Does it matter how long the student takes as long as he gets the right answers? I don't understand why they have to give 30 minutes for 39 questions. In British Columbia, their assessment test offers 2 hours on the English exam and an extra 30 minutes if needed.http://www.englishforums.com/English/SatPractise/mkdv/post.htmFri, 17 Dec 2004 00:55:25 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:61901wushuI consider myself to be a good English student. I've always had reading and writings skills that were ranked above average on every reading/writing or general assessment test I've taken. Except for the New SAT. In fact, I scored incredibly below the average. When I took the test I was shocked at how little time we had. On one of the English tests they allowed 30 minutes for 39 questions. That goes against my work habits and basically my life. I do everything slow from eating, walking to reading. So when I saw the large passages given to me by the SAT, it took me awhile to read. I didn't even come close to finishing the whole test. What's wrong with me? Is there anything I can do to increase my speed?http://www.englishforums.com/English/CommonErrorsOrGoodWriting/lbhn/post.htmWed, 10 Nov 2004 00:38:42 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:54464wushuI've seen some 'mistakes' written so many times around the internet, I was wondering if they were really mistakes or if I was wrong. Would things like these be appropriate for formal use? " />What University do you go to? The correct way to write that would be, "Which University do you attend?", right?

How well can the average poster on the internet write. I found a post of average length from a frequent vistor of another board (his identity and the URL of the site will be kept anonymous). How many mistakes are in this? Mike, have you tried a FW CF Card reader? I have one and it's very fast. iPhoto is the bottleneck here (it creates the thumbnails as it imports). If I simply copy the photos off the card to the hard disk, it's very fast. My camera (Nikon CP 4500) only has USB 1 so it's a great improvement over that. I can spot a few but people here are good at being specific.http://www.englishforums.com/English/ToKillAMockingbird/zdpp/post.htm#25806Wed, 17 Mar 2004 16:36:54 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:25806wushuOkay... so, nobody knows?

I'm suppose to draw a shield, just like the one Hephaistos made for Achileus in the Iliad, "The Arming of Achileus." I have an okay idea of what goes on it: 5 folds on the shield. One for the creation (in which I chose the sun to symbolize), 2 cities - one peaceful with fields and festivals/musics, the other in war, with lions? The fourth is the Ocean, which is the outside of the shield, or does that not count?

You've all heard that one. Besides, there is no "General English" or "Off-topic" section for it. So, I've come to ask what do you guys think is the most difficult language to teach. Not to foreigners, and not to natives but overall. This can be based on your opinion, experience, or general observations. Even if you are not a teacher, I'm interested to read your opinion. Frankly, I think it is Chinese. Those who say it is english, have never...ever tried Chinese. The reading, speaking and writing is all more difficult due to inefficiency.

For the rest of you, I use "retard" as "just an example" as I noted above in my first post. Let's not get paranoid with words we choose as basic examples.http://www.englishforums.com/English/NounAndAdjective/dlww/post.htmSun, 04 Jan 2004 08:26:59 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:18062wushuIn a sentence like: "You are a horse." Would horse be a noun, and not an adjective? Since horse is a thing. However, it is describing "you", so, it would be an adjective? Here is one I came across that was even more confusing, though it may be inappropriate: (Keep in mind, just an example) "You are a retard." Is retard a noun? How about if you put it as: "You are retarded" Now I know, retarded is an adjective. Help? I need this cleared-up. It is confusing because the word itself is a noun, yet it is describing another noun... It isn't something like, "He is fast!"http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhomWithThose/dhnk/post.htmThu, 25 Dec 2003 01:30:19 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:16993wushuWould "whom" be the write usage in the types of sentences, where there is a preposition, and the word "those" in the preposition?

I just wanted to double check. I find my self in more situations that aren't shown, where I wonder if I should use a semi colon or not. How about this sentence: "Here it is; solid proof that dogs are better than cats."http://www.englishforums.com/English/Semicolon/cqwd/post.htmTue, 02 Dec 2003 00:13:00 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:14589wushuSemicolons, to me are very confusing. Thus, I rarely ever use them. I've searched the internet for examples to avoid asking a probably, very repetitive question on this board, but can you guys write me a few sentences to show how a semicolon is used? A few examples would help a lot. Edit: Okay, after seeing something on this site I see that Semi-Colon's are used to connect related sentences (thoughts), or something. I knew this already, but I saw like one good example. Can semi colons be used in a long sentence, where you already have many commas but you don't want to stop the sentence with a "."? I am thinking this can't be done.http://www.englishforums.com/English/Lets/cmmz/post.htm#13514Thu, 20 Nov 2003 06:45:38 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:13514wushuSo, would this be correct?
