I know the meaning of the word queer changed quite a bit as far as its history is concered. And it s not defined as "strange, odd" although the dictionary still list both old and new defination.

Does that mean that it s still used in the context of "strange or odd" in other English speaking country like britian, austrailia, india, or others? Does it retain both defination?

I know several punjabi-speaking people who live in canada, but only one speaks tamil.

Is there a reason why northern (punjabi speaking province) people tend to immigrate more?

Since he s a president, does that mean he s above the law, no matter where he goes, and do whatever he likes?

Would he get arrested for sexual assault at the said country? Does that mean War????

I was looking at the voting results that was rolling in.

Why is Maine, which is located in the east coast and one of the earliest state to start voting and ended voting. Taking so long to count their ballot when even Hawaii and California finished counting their vote??

Shouldn't east coast state finish the count faster since they finished voting earlier? Or is Maine just really short on staff?

If GOP hate him so much, how did he became one of their candidate in the first place??? Why would GOP allow him to join if they believe he's such a dope? Can anybody join GOP??

Is it offensive when someone mistakes you for transman and refer to you as a "he" or "mr"?

Obviously the easiest way is to ask, but asking is offensive. I work in retails and sometimes I have to help customers make their choices and make small talks.

Sometimes I get customers that have feminine features but are either lazily dressed, tomboy, or transgender.

I m too scared to call them by the wrong pronoun, or accidentally offending them by recommending purple shirts.

I was helping someone today, and he/she came with wife/friend and the wife/friend picked a shirt, and it was clearly too small. I was trying to say that, but my speech stopped at "I think this shirt looks too small for -----" because I was afraid to use a wrong pronoun. How can I tell the difference between a tomboy with a friend and a transman with his wife? Because he/she did not have any masculine features, he/she just dressed like a man, and I can t tell!!

Do you give secret hints to the store clerks or something? I m not good at playing the pronoun game. What was I supposed to say? Is it offensive to be called by the wrong pronoun or be recommended with a purple shirt?

You know how USA purchased Louisiana from France and Alaska from Russia?

So let's say a country is deeply in debt and defaulted on its loan they made from china.

Can the said country sell their own territory and land to china to pay back? As in, the said country will become part of china?

It s my understanding that every nationals of each EU nation are free to travel and work at any other EU nation.

It s also my understanding that Schengen area is effective border-free, visa-free space where anybody can walk into each other s country without ever being stopped by a border patrol.

So doesn t that mean that if Germany decides to let in the refugees, and these refugees decides to find a job and move to Spain, there s nothing stopping them?

The media coverage speaks as though each country have it s own independent immigration policy, but as long as that country is part of the EU/Schengen, the refugees are free to move from one place to another. So why does it even matter if Spain is against refugee and Germany is pro refugee? It s not like Spain can stop Germany and it s not like Spain can close it s border from European travellers (and refugees)

Let's say that Mr.D is a somewhat wealthy old man who frequent a prostitue Ros in a place where prostitution is legal.

Knowing that her client is wealthy, Ros lie to Mr.D about being on the pills and does it without condom (since he's a regular, they'be done this before) planning get 'accidentally' get preganat so that she can collect large sum of child support.

She gets preganat and Mr.D offer to pay for abortion. She refuse. When the child is born, Rose demand him for child support.

So does Mr.D pay child support? Does he have any case for defense?

What are some examples of a very good response/evacuation/sheltering of a major natural disasters?

Where the government acted responsible and death and injury was curbed as a result, in comparison to the severity of the disaster that occurred?

We know reading is hard for dead people, usually because our written language is closely related to speaking language, and it s hard to learn to read without speaking.

But not all languages around the world are phonic. Triditional Chinese have almost no phonic connection to spoken language, which is the reason why people in Taiwan, Hong Kong, ancient Korea and Vietnam were able to communicate by writing Triditional Chinese even though none of them can speak eachother s language.

Does that mean that deaf children in Taiwan does not have difficulty learning to read and write like the rest of the world? Since their writing is disconnected from spoken words?

I might be going to live in Bayamon, Puerto Rico in September. Nothing's been finalized yet so I haven't started learning spanish.

When I go there, how much english does the locals speak? Will I have trouble buying groceries, going shopping for clothes, ordering food at the restaurant, finding out routes for public transportation, going to the bank, calling repairman and so on?

are the awards I received in high school and work experience I had at fast food restaurant in my freshmen year "too old" to put in my grad school application?

I'm a Canadian applying for american college and they require TOFEL test completed.

I'm a English as a first language speaker but the last time I took English was in high school, so like 7 years ago.

I never heard of TOFEL before. Is this difficult? Is it even worth studying for?

Due to it s unique reproductive process, all fig fruit contain at least one dead fig wasp. Fig need fig wasp to become a fruit.

Since eating insects are haram, and fig wasp is insect, and there is no such thing as fig without fig wasp, are figs haram?

Koreans and Chinese seem to abhor at the idea of wearing panties and socks with their flag design on it, but Americans and British have no problem putting their flag in the neither region. Why?

I'm applying for optometry school. I finished my bachelors and I'm sending that transcript in, but midway through, I went to a nursing school for a semester, realized it's not for me, and dropped out of class. I went back to undergraduate study shortly after.

Should I add nursing school as part of my application? Am I required to list all the school I attended regardless of weather I got any degree from it?

I'll be honest.

It looks like a great way to quickly cover bad hair day or "I forgot to shower yeaterday" head.

And it looks pretty.
