Hello, what's the difference between energic and energetic? Thank you!
"Energic" is another name for "energetic." They have the same meaning. "Energetic" is much more popular than "energic."

" @wishing i can meet you in 2016 " is it right ? @The_YUNiversity
If you're making a wish at this moment, "I am wishing that I can meet you in 2016." Otherwise, "I wish I could meet you in 2016" or "I hope to meet you in 2016."

Thanks for the quick response. So, saying "it's been decided the following: X will be head of the department...:" is incorrect?
That example could be expressed simply as "It has been decided that X will be head of the department ...." If you want to use the colon, then "The following decisions have been made: X will be head of the department ...."
what is sugar coat?
To "sugarcoat" is to talk about or describe (something) in a way that makes it seem more pleasant or acceptable than it is. For example, "Afraid of hurting his aunt's feelings, Peter *sugarcoated* his comments about her cooking and said that her soup was 'unique' and 'unforgettable.'"
"I don't like it anymore" or "I don't like it no more"?
"I don't like it no more" is wrong; it is a double negative. "I don't like it anymore" is correct.

"It has been decided the following." Is this sentence correct?
By itself, no. As part of a larger sentence, yes. For example, "It has been decided (that) the following players will represent our country at the World Cup." ⚽️

Hi. Please, kindly share me how to use either and neither correctly. Is both just being use in negative sentence?
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 not the one or the other of two people/things is 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.
This is how EITHER and NEITHER work in negative sentences:
- You don't like me? Well, I don't like you EITHER! And NEITHER does my brother!
- You don't feel like studying? NEITHER do I!
- She doesn't want to go to the beach today? I don't feel like it EITHER.
- 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. ⛷

"having fun" he said in a duh tone. what means by 'duh tone'?
"Duh" = an ironic response to a question or statement, implying that the speaker is stupid or that the reply is obvious.
(A "duh tone" would be a condescending tone.)
(A "duh tone" would be a condescending tone.)
my love for you is.... or my love for you are...... ? @The_YUNiversity
"My love" is singular, so it should be "My love for you is," e.g., "My love for you is stronger than ever." 💖

how to use "after all" correctly ?
Go here for more usage examples: http://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/after%20all
what's the diff between use "Dad - Father" ?
"Father" is formal and polite. It doesn't have much emotional attachment. "Dad" is less formal but it suggests warmth and closeness. ("Daddy" is even less formal but suggests even more warmth and closeness. It's a word that lots of little children use to call their dads.)
Some people claim that "father" is just a biological term, whereas "dad" suggests a man who is there for his children, who plays with them, takes care of them, protects them, provides for them, etc. This is not an official distinction, but it gives clues to the difference between "father" and "dad." (Interestingly, when Darth Vader reveals his relationship to Luke Skywalker, he tells him "I am your father." Biologically speaking, Darth Vader is Luke's father, but he certainly wasn't there for Luke as a "dad.")

It means "to surprise someone in a way that makes the person feel confused or uncertain," e.g., "The students, who thought they were going to watch a movie in class, were caught off guard by the pop quiz."

what are @The_YUNiversity differences between unlike, dislike and hate ?
"Dislike" and "hate" are synonyms: I dislike cold weather. = I hate cold weather.
"Unlike" is a preposition or adjective that means "different from," "dissimilar to," "in contrast to," etc.: Unlike her sisters, Nan doesn't drink iced coffee.
(Facebook has turned it into a verb that means to "not like something you liked," but that's considered informal usage.)
