"do you know any scholarship information?" is it correct?
"Do you HAVE any scholarship information" and "Do you know OF any scholarships?" are better.

"Research which recommends changes to any rules found wanting". What does "found wanting" mean? Thank you :)
"Found wanting" = not meeting requirements or expectations. (When you insert that into your sentence, it makes perfect sense.)
So if I was asked "Would you like an apple or a pear?" and it didn't matter I could say "Either is fine"?
Yes. :-)

there's a phrase in kingsman, "manners maketh man." and im not so sure i understand that "maketh".
"Maketh" is an archaic way of saying "makes." (It's from Shakespeare's time; we don't use verbs with the -eth ending anymore, unless we're trying to sound like Shakespeare.)

would you please explain the term "little do the they know that..."
It is similar in meaning to "they have no idea that ...." We use "little do they know that ..." to indicate that they did something without knowing the consequences of their actions:
- A rude waiter made fun of Nan today. Little did he know that she had over 190,000 followers on Twitter who would love to hear about how bad his service was.
- Henry went to the beach today without wearing a sweater. Little did he know that it was going to be the coldest and windiest day of the year.
- Ten years ago, a teacher made fun of Nan's niece. Little did she know that Nan's niece would now be her boss as the principal of the school.

when to use "either..or" and "neither..nor" ?
When? We use EITHER ... OR when we want to refer to a choice between two possibilities:
- Nan feels like eating EITHER tacos OR ramen for lunch.
- Henry will EITHER wash his car OR write 100 test questions today.
- Peter will be EITHER skiing OR snowboarding when we see him later this afternoon.
We use NEITHER ... NOR when we want to say that two or more things are NOT true:
- NEITHER Henry NOR Peter feels like going to the gym today.
- We like NEITHER to study NOR to write papers on such a beautiful day.
- Nan wants to watch NEITHER the movies on Netflix NOR the videos on YouTube.

She uses make up/ she wears make up?
They're both right. (But as a noun, "makeup" is one word.)
So after 'each other' we use the verb to be in singular? I mean like 'each student was given a free ticket'
After "each," we use a singular verb: EACH book COSTS $12. EACH child IS required to finish the assignment on time.

Can you tell me the differences/meanings of these words 1. Suburban 2. Interstate TYSM :)
A "suburb" is a residential area away from the main city, e.g., Studio City is a suburb of Los Angeles. "Suburban" is an adjective that means "of or characteristic of a suburb":
- Henry and Nan enjoy suburban life because it's less chaotic than living in the city.
- Suburban parks tend to be much larger than those in the city because there is more land available.
"Interstate" = (adj.) existing or carried on between states; (n.) a highway that goes across many states:
- Interstate (adj.) commerce is booming thanks to lower fuel prices.
- We're going to take the new interstate (n.) all the way from Los Angeles to Miami.

' nvm , you look beautiful tho ' is that means ' you still look beautiful ' ??
Yes. It means "Never mind. You look beautiful nonetheless."
I just noticed this, but "Never mind. You look beautiful nonetheless" is infinitely prettier, classier, and aesthetically pleasing than "Nvm, you look beautiful tho."
I wish more people would use formal sentences, especially when giving compliments. ;-)

'have you watched the fifty shades of grey' or 'have you seen the fifty shades of grey'? Btw have you? :)
1. We use "see" for movies, so "Have you SEEN 'Fifty Shades of Grey'?" is correct.
2. No, we haven't. None of us have read the book either.

"i'm responsible for what i said, but not for what you understand" is this correct? thank you!
"I'm responsible for what I say, but not for what you understand" or "I'm responsible for what I said, but not for what you understood." (It's good to keep the verb tenses consistent.)
I personally like "I'm responsible for what I say, but not for what you understand" better, because it is always true. A statement like that works better in the present tense. :-)

May i ask what does 'bollocks' mean?
It's a word used in the UK. Here's a really good explanation (with examples): http://bit.ly/1wNsUTN
Can you explain how to use "tho" and "ain't"? NAH. JK. Phrases like "anywhere but here", "anyone but you" are confusing. Sometimes I can understand them, other times I don't. Can you tell me the proper way of using it? and I wonder if other people might use it in a wrong way?
LOL re: "tho" and "ain't." :-P
Here are some examples that I hope will answer your question. (Hi, this is Nan by the way.)
I don't like food from places like McDonald's or Taco Bell, so if Henry wanted to buy me lunch, I would tell him, "Let's go anywhere but McDonald's or Taco Bell." (In other words, we can go anywhere EXCEPT McDonald's or Taco Bell.") If Henry drove us to McDonald's without telling me first, I would say, "Anywhere but here (McDonald's)" and have him take us somewhere else.
Next example: Let's say that I got into an argument with a friend, and five minutes later, I won two free airplane tickets to Hawaii. If I'm still mad at my friend, I might say to her, "I am willing to give my second ticket to anyone but you." (In other words, I am willing to give a free airplane ticket to Hawaii to everyone EXCEPT her.)
Sorry for the long answer, but I hope that the details make things easier to understand. ^^

I remember my teacher told me something about we can show a noun is plural by using ('s), but I forgot how and when to use it.
The ONLY nouns that can become plural by adding ('s) are single letters:
- I got four A's on my report card.
- His i's and a's are hard to read because he has poor handwriting.
The reason we allow that is because if we write "As" instead of "A's," it looks like the word "As."
Similarly, "is" (instead of "i's") looks like the word "is."
- I got four A's on my report card.
- His i's and a's are hard to read because he has poor handwriting.

Can you please explain what negative emphasis is?? Give an example also. Thank you :)
Negative emphasis involves putting negative words at the beginning of a statement to express emphasis. For example,
- NEVER will I work for a company that makes me go to the office on Sunday. (Instead of "I will NEVER work for a company that ....")
- RARELY will she drink coffee at night. (Instead of "She will RARELY drink coffee ....")
- UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE should you feed chicken bones to your dog. (Instead of "You should feed chicken bones to your dog UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES.")
- NEVER will I work for a company that makes me go to the office on Sunday. (Instead of "I will NEVER work for a company that ....")

what's the meaning of "for god sake" and how to use in a sentence?
"For God's sake" is an idiom that we use to show surprise, impatience, or some other emotion:
- For God's sake, brush your teeth after eating garlic!
- For God's sake, can you hurry up? The movie is going to start in two minutes!
- For God's sake, stop scaring me like that!
It's the same as "for heaven's sake," "for goodness sake," and "for Pete's sake."
