Oh, dear. What a scary question--one the answer to which is, I think, "IDK my BFF Jill?" I'll be twenty-five, fresh out of school (Poli Sci / Persian studies, insh'allah ...

Sure! If it's a female thing possessing, it's ihr(e, en, em), and if it's male, it's sein(e, en, em). With sie/Sie, it's ihn/Ihn. Uns = our Euer = their And ...

Tillychan! The first needs a female possessive, and you need a dative pronoun. Wie so: " Ihre Stiefmutter zwangt ihr mit den sieben Zwergen wohnen." *glee* I so want to ...

Hey, guys! I'm just starting to really crack down on researching for my NaNo novel, which looks like it's going to be a lot of fun, but a lot of ...

Pattycakes! Ah-huh, who's finally caught up on Khalilzad? In retrospect, I should have completely ignored the flu and summer school (one and the same actually) and spent time reading this. ...

Eeeek, Sam Beam and Yelstin? Wunderbar. ^_^ 10/10. Le Moribond - Beirut That's When the Audience Died - Final Fantasy Level - The Raconteurs Hair Down - Cold War Kids ...

What's the difference between 'retard' and 'gay'? In slang terms, they mean the same thing--even though the distinction is much different. It's the same with 'nigger' and 'friend' in eubonics. ...

No, aestar, 'retard' is not a 'dis'. It's a medical label. When you use it as a 'dis', you are indeed disrespecting people who are retarded.

"Retarded" means slowed in development, or hindered. It's not an insult when used in a medical context. Many people who are mentally disabled are also retarded.

The problem that I find with the word "retard" is that actual retards can't protest against it. I've had gay people tell me that calling something 'gay' isn't offensive, and ...

Aaagh, Hairspray and the Producers? You must know the way into the Broadway part of my heart. We must talk, homeslice. 8/10 for the lovelies. 1. She's a Rejector - ...
