Can you tell me what this sentence means 'unable to pry his eyes from me' thanks!

March 06, 2015

It means that he was unable to stop looking at you. It's similar to "He couldn't take his eyes off of me."

hello! which is correct nerve-wracking or nerve-racking? searched it on google but everyone seems to use both words?? im confused

March 06, 2015

The "original" version is "nerve-RACKING," but both are accepted. (Technically, "nerve-wracking" is a variant of "nerve-racking" that has become accepted from so many people using it that way.)

---

Just don't spell it as "nerve-wrecking." ;-)

i found it hard to read my college's books :( all in english and verryyy hard to understand, what should i do :'''(

March 06, 2015

Have a dictionary next to you—or your browser open to http://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary—and just go through each page carefully and patiently. Unfortunately, there are no shortcuts at first. Once your vocabulary improves, the speed will increase, and so will your understanding of what you're reading.

Don't give up, and don't lose hope. You'll improve before you know it! ^__^

What is the difference between barely and rarely?

March 06, 2015

BARELY = hardly, scarcely:

---

- She spoke so quietly that I could BARELY hear her.
- After Peter washed my car, I could see BARELY any dust or dirt.
- I BARELY passed my exam, but I'm still happy.

---

RARELY = not often; almost never. It deals with time:

---

- Henry RARELY washes his car.
- Nan RARELY drinks coffee at night.
- It RARELY rains in Los Angeles during the summer months.

what is the different between thu, tho?

March 06, 2015

If you're asking about slang meanings, check with http://www.urbandictionary.com.

---

Otherwise, "Thu" can be the abbreviation of "Thursday," and "tho" is an informal/slang abbreviation of "though."

What about 'i sleep better with the light is on'? Is it also correct?

March 06, 2015

No. "I sleep better when the light is on" would be OK.

---

However, the best way to express this idea is "I sleep better with the light on."

is it i could careless or i couldn't careless?

March 06, 2015

The original, logical, and correct version is "I COULDN'T care less."

---

However, because SO MANY people say this incorrectly, both are now accepted.

---

If you think about it, it should be "I COULDN'T care less." It literally means that you care so little about something that you couldn't care any less.

---

"I could care less" means that you do care.

What exactly 'otherwise' and 'like wise' suppose to mean?

March 06, 2015

OTHERWISE = in another and different manner:

---

- Nan thinks that "Attack on Titan" is better than "Tokyo Ghoul"; Henry thinks OTHERWISE.

---

OTHERWISE also = in other ways:

---

- He is a sleepwalker, but he is OTHERWISE normal.
- She doesn't like manga, K-pop, or Twitter; she is OTHERWISE just like you and me. ;-)

---

----------------------------

---

LIKEWISE = similarly:

---

- I am going to study tonight; I advise that you do LIKEWISE.
- Ghouls like to drink coffee, and I LIKEWISE enjoy a cup of latte in the morning.
- After spending all day at the beach yesterday, she failed her Chemistry exam; her score on her English exam was LIKEWISE bad.

---

OTHERWISE expresses contrast; LIKEWISE expresses similarity.

March 06, 2015

Grammar is MUCH more important than pronunciation. Pronunciation only matters when you speak; grammar matters in both speaking and writing.

What's the difference between good evening and good night? Why people say good evening when it's actually night?

March 04, 2015

"Good evening" is like "Good morning." You would say it as a greeting to someone you meet. "Have a good evening" is something you would say as you're leaving someone (or as someone is leaving you). You wouldn't say this late at night.

---

"Good night" or "Goodnight" is something you ONLY say to someone before you or they go to bed. You would say it late at night.

what is "friendzone"? thank you

March 04, 2015

“The ‘friend zone’ is like the penalty box of dating, only you can never get out. Once a girl decides you’re her ‘friend,’ it’s game over. You’ve become a complete non-sexual entity in her eyes, like her brother, or a lamp.” - Ryan Reynolds in "Just Friends"

---

In other words, if you're put in the "friend zone," it means that the person you have a crush on thinks of you as a brother (or sister), buddy, cousin, or some other person that he or she has zero romantic feelings for.
