Who can explain why the I in 'since' sounds different from the one in 'bi', which is the same sound you find in 'bye' but there's no I there xD In English there're many letter combinations that have the same sound: week ~ weak, whine ~wine, knight ~night, wear ~where ~were, wait ~ weight, write ~ right, and so on.

But I agree about it being a direct language. In English you can say in 5 words what in any other language would take a whole paragraph xDDD everything is relative and contradictory ~

1) There should be a comma after "English" 2) "And the second highest is a boy from Korean", Since you didn't specify that you were talking about the person with the highest percentage, it could be taken as if the second highest percentage IS a boy from Korea, not that the second hightest percentage is held by a boy from Korea. Also, "Korean" isn't a country, Korea is. You call the people from Korea, Korean. 3) There should be either a comma OR semi-colon after what is supposed to be Korea. 4) "hes" is incorrect, it's a contraction for "he is" therefore there should be an apostraphe after the "e" and before the "s" 5) Weren't you ever taught not to start a sentence with a conjunction! And= conjunction That sentence should've been written, "I'm passing English, I have the highest percentage in my class! The second highest percentage is held by a boy from Korea; hes only been here for 3 years." just thought I'd point that out ![]() Microsoft is making computer's just like air conditioners; they work properly until you open WINDOWS. |

Right, it doesn't quite sound the same but that's cause one follows the other and we unintentionally make them sound different ![]() everything is relative and contradictory ~

You can start with one, but it's highly frowned upon..
lol... I seriously didn't catch that.... lol.. It seriously wasn't meant to be mean, it was sort of a paradox. She claimed to have the highest grade in English, yet her writing wasn't exactly showing it My first line was originally "....because it suX." It was a play on X JAPAN, but I figured someone else would be like "you spelled "sucks" wrong, so I changed it. ![]() Microsoft is making computer's just like air conditioners; they work properly until you open WINDOWS. |
