If you had to choose one word to describe the world we live in, which word would it be?
Changing.Everything is changing and some people get stuck on the past and stay that way. If you went far back into time, non white people weren’t allowed to do anything, women weren’t allowed to do anything, lgbtq+ people wouldn’t be accepted. Now we have all of those things in some places. Some people don’t accept some of it, others get left behind. We keep finding and making new technology and cures for diseases. Things that help our kind. It also kills our planet and we are constantly growing as a population. So changing is a great word for it because we don’t know when something amazing or horrible will happen next and it could be the greatest or worst thing for this world.

The added words have * on either side of them. in their own language bushman have no name for themselves as a race of people. in the past they had no need to distinguish themselves from other people, since they were the only inhabitants of an area stretching *from* the atlantic to the indian ocean. they have an ancient past but there is no record of their history *except* for their wonderful rock paintings of animals, dancers and hunters, many of these are still clear and detailed *even* after thousands of years of *being* exposed to the sun wind and rain. there are a few more recent paintings of boats and horseman evidence of contact with *the* first european colonist arriving in africa. the colonist who landed on the shores of sothem africa about three hundred and fifty years *ago* called them simply bushmen. the little hunters were seen *something* like a threat to farmers livestock and treated like wild animals.

Which is correct, "I like it best/most" or "I like it the best/the most"?
Question: Which is correct, "I like it best/most" or "I like it the best/the most"? I see people mostly use the “the” option, but should not “the” be used only with things and not with qualifying of something? Eg. “the most beautiful girl” - the one and only girl that we talk about in this context. “I like it best” describes how much I like it, and not how definite “it” isMy instinct tells me that, “I like it the most” is correct, but it is an awkward way of saying something very simple. It would have been useful if you could have let us know what is ‘it’, so that we can know what it is you are talking about. If it is a dress, then the sentence flows more smoothly if you include, in your sentence that it is a dress you are talking about.There are so many other ways you can say it more gracefully. “I like it the most” is a child’s way of communicating his or her preference. Instead, you could say:“I prefer this dress.” or “I prefer that one.” “I like this one more than the others.” or “Out of the two, this one is much nicer.” “I like this one because it is so much prettier.” “This one is more to my taste,” “They are all very pretty indeed, but I think this one is the winner.”On the other hand, if it is a horse you are choosing to buy, all you would need to say is: “This one please.” with a smile and a nod as you say it. Your audience is the most important factor when choosing which words to use, and the English language is beautiful because there are so many words from which to chose.Finding several different ways of saying the same thing increases one’s vocabulary and helps to fit the sentence to the person you are talking to. A lot depends on whether you have to take care to be tactful or not, in how you choose to express yourself.I hope this helps.
If you were to describe your life in one word what would it be?
Unexpected.And no, not in the “My parents didn't mean to concieve me yet here I am!” way, but the, “My life has been a series of moments that were far from the expected” kind of way.Let me briefly highlight the most “unexpected” events to have happened in my life. Don’t worry, this won't take long :)First, doctors all told my mom she was unable to have children. Then BAM! Here I was, incubated and all. Next, they told her “Ok, so you can get pregnant. Bad news is your child will be born with spina bifida.” Basically this meant I would be born with the inability to walk, meaning I would be wheelchair bound my entire life. Come October, with my parents having already adjusted to the idea of how I would be in need of mobile assistance, I was born 100% healthy— until they later found out I was allergic to peanuts (which I amazingly outgrew).Fast forward into my school years and you’ll find that I, like many other young children, fell in love with the French language. However, the unexpected moment here is that I did not excel so much at French as I did with Mandarin Chinese. I studied abroad at China, and not France; this was a decision my family was shocked to hear about. I became even more in love with China and decided to major in it, stunning all of my extended family.But where do you go if you’re going to major in Chinese? Sure, you can go anywhere, but I have a bad habit of living by the phrase “Nothing bad can come from saying yes”, and so I applied to college in Hawaii. The rest of my family? They all expected I would go to California. Needless to say I’m writing this post three and a half miles from Waikiki.These little moments, and even the ones happening presently, all leave me to believe that my life in one word is best fit for: unexpected.
