what "poc" means?

September 15, 2015

It's either "person of color" (non-Caucasian person) or "piece of crap." (Obviously, it's not a formal word. It's an informal abbreviation.)

"Every time" should be two words. (Don't trust Britney Spears. 😏)

"Screwed me up" what exactly does it means?

September 15, 2015

It means "messed me up," i.e., caused me trouble, made me fail. For example, "The loud and constant sound of sirens *screwed me up* during my exam."

help me! how can we say right: "i would even like to win" or it's better to say so: "i even would like to win"

September 15, 2015

Hmmm ... we wouldn't use "even" in that situation. "I would like to win" makes the most sense. (If you absolutely had to use "even" somewhere in that sentence, we'd put it at the beginning: "Even I would like to win." This would emphasize that even someone like me would like to win.)

what is the difference between ' I've never seen this one' and ' I never see this one' ?

September 11, 2015

"I've never seen this (x)" = this is new to me; I didn't know such a thing existed. "I never see this (x)" = this is so rare; it is hard to find this.

---

- I've never seen this car before. Who makes it?
- I've never seen this episode. Is it a filler episode?
- I never see this book in stores anymore. Where did you get it?
- I never see this character in the manga these days. Did the writer kill him off?

Could you explain how to use "wether" properly? thank you.

September 11, 2015

Umm ... a "wether" is a castrated ram (a ram whose testicles have been removed). Do you mean "whether" or "weather"? You are most likely asking about "whether," so check this out: http://tmblr.co/Z90tLy1qwrE7x ✌️

If you do not like looking at profanity (swear words) or offensive language, DON'T look at the second link. It'll take you to Urban Dictionary, which is full of such material.

Lately, I've seen "lowkey" in some forums or youtube comments, do you know what "lowkey" mean? And how to use it sentences? . Btw, did my question have a mistake in grammar? Thanks, you're so cool!!

September 11, 2015

"Low-key" basically means "not flashy" or "not showy": She wore a low-key outfit to the ceremony.

---

People often use it nowadays informally as a synonym for "secret": Keep it low-key, but my friend cheated on the exam. In formal writing, don't use "low-key" in that sense. Use "discreet" or some other synonym instead. ✌️

Regarding http://ask.fm/The_YUNiversity/answer/132111000706 could you explain why the answer isn't "weren't" instead?

September 11, 2015

"Would have" (also "could have," "should have," and "might have") requires a "had" + past participle:

---

- I would have passed the exam if I HAD STUDIED.
- She could have beaten me if she HAD PRACTICED harder.
- They might have won the championship HAD they PLAYED with more energy and determination.

"for those whose ask" or "for those whose asking"?

September 11, 2015

"Whose" is possessive, so the second one would be wrong. "To those who ask" works nicely: I will give an explanation to those who ask. ✌️

is it 'the one you want to have' or 'the one you want to own' ?

September 10, 2015

Neither is good. It's offensive to say that you "have" or "own" someone; it makes that person sound like a piece of property. Something like "the one I have a crush on," "the one I want to marry," "the one I love," "the one I want to be with," or "the one I dream about" is so much better.

Hi there! I'm curious about the differences between fill out, fill in and fill up. Could you tell me the differences? Thanks in advance!

September 10, 2015

1. "Fill out" = to gain weight, e.g., The puppies will *fill out* once they start eating. "Fill out" also = to complete a form or application, e.g., Please *fill out* this form with a blue pen.

---

2. "Fill in" = to write an answer, e.g., *Fill in* the blank with the correct answer. "Fill in" also = to substitute for someone, e.g., Can you *fill in* for me at work tomorrow?

---

3. "Fill up" = to make or become full, e.g., Jo will *fill up* her car with gas before leaving on her trip. The theater *filled up* quickly.
