Some Reminders To Live By


Very true indeed! If you are RICH you don't have to convince the whole world that you are rich. People have their own way of knowing that ... and for you to emphasize that ... that was your big EGO talking. It is a big turn-off.

If you meant that you are rich because you have a mother working abroad ... then you just have deluded yourself. The money is your mother's ... not yours.

Caption This





 If photo Number 1 is a pair of scissors ... is photo Number 2 a pair of scissors too?

Netizens Question


Netizens Question: Your "Caption That" post is something tricky ... how many really are 1 pair of scissors?

Answer: As scissors have two blades, they are considered a pair. Although the scissors itself is one item, the dual blades work as a pair.

In Modern English, scissors have no singular form. Scissors is an example of a plurale tantum or an English word that only has a plural form that represents a singular object. They always end in S (hence in plural form) thus a singular scissor is never used.

Netizen Question: Is a pair singular or plural?

Answer: If a pair ... is one thing they are considered singular.  Like a pair of pants ... a pair of scissors ... pair of shoes or a pair of slacks. 

Is the pair of shoes singular or plural?
It's a pair of shoes. Since "shoes" is plural, it's incorrect to say "a shoes". A pair of shoes is one set of shoes, one right and one left.
Demonstrative pronouns like this and these ... or that and those should also be plural.  Example: THESE (those) scissors are ...

Question Of The Day

 


Di ba tama lang naman? Ang taong gutom ay hindi makapag-isip ... and is incapable of making love or showing love.

LIfe Is


Life is not all a bed of roses.  There are happy times ... and the good times. 

There are also sad chapters ... and a time to cry.

A mature person is somebody who is as pliant as a bamboo ready to face whatever life's forecast there is today.
