  1. I just wrote an I-Don't-Know-How-Long piece about the Boxer Rebellion in the Chinese Chatroom.
  2. *smiles* I know this inside and out. Brief Summary: Opium War (Preceding Event): Boxer Rebellion (After the Treaty): The Boxer Protocol: Aftermath: Sources: I had the basic knowledge of most of this information as we once studied it in History. However, since my memory isn't exactly fresh, I did use Wikipedia as a source so that I could get the facts straight. EDIT: I got a little off topic talking about the treaty regarding Hong Kong. Oh well.
  3. *checks grade online* I didn't actually fail my Spanish test! By too much! As in I got less than 93% but I didn't get less than 89!
  4. *defines S* Appearance: Hair a little shorter than shoulder length, often wears headbands Characteristics: Loyal, a little bit girly, not extremely social, often quiet, tight-lipped, trustworthy, always stands by friends even if she gets in trouble
  5. You don't know S. She wouldn't betray my trust that easily. And she'd be tight-lipped from the last time you talked to her.
  6. :V No. :V
  7. That's why people become rock stars. :V

  8. BUT YOU'RE MY SISTER. ;__________________________________;

  10. ;______________________; </3
  11. How are you? TWIN! <3
  12. :o I'm not surprised. :V

    Btw, quote for you:

    "Genius by birth, slacker by choice."

  13. Get earplugs. :V You don't want me to do that. :V <3 How are you? DDDDDDDDDDDDD: *clings*
  14. Note: I am NOT a grammar teacher. In fact, I rather fail at explaining grammar even though I can do it. :V You can't give an accurate summary of it. It depends on which one sounds more smooth. Say it out loud if that helps you hear the difference. But next time, call them plural verbs as that would make more sense and be easier to decipher. Someone/Everyone/Anyone/Nobody are a little tougher to decipher than most normal words. Usually if there is more than one subject, you would use a plural verb (and this may confuse you) that DOES NOT in fact include "s". Example: "He talks on the phone." (singular) "They talk on the phone." (plural) See: http: //data.grammarbook.com/blog/verbs/when-to-add-s-to-a-verb/ (get rid of space between http: and //) But that isn't the main question. The problem is, there are differences. Like: "Everyone stands up when the teacher comes in." VS. "Everyone should stand up when the teacher comes in." This ties in with present and past tense, which affects how you would write things. By statements and questions, do you mean in conversation or in, say, writing? They have differences.
  15. Hi Ai-chan.
  16. Fool's gold! \o/ Who's what? :V And...Mark! <3
  17. ::) Who knows? Maybe you're delusional. :V Or a 7-year old. :V

  18. Yes, really. :V No comparison. :V You two are very different. D: Go see the doctor.
  19. For singular and plural, it always depends on the situation. What case would you be talking about?
  20. For some reason, I can't explain why all the grammar and stuff needs to be there, however, I know it all (or most of it). For the apple example, it isn't exactly an accurate explanation on the sounds. "Tommy found an orange in his backyard." works. Even though the beginning sound of "orange" is different from "a", the "n" is needed. This is how my teacher used to explain it. "Vowels don't like each other. In fact, they don't like each other at all. That's why we place an 'n' in between them to keep them separate." Thus, whenever you have 'a' and something that starts with a vowel in the front, you must put a 'n' in front of it. (Man, I was tempted to write "an 'n'".
  21. I'm not lovesick. Busy, tired, and going to leave soon.
  22. *disappears again* :V *disappears for real*
  23. *disappears in a cloud of smoke*
