I need help categorizing this person? Please, only people who are good with words!! (English)?
Okay well firstly, is the guy in scenario three really protecting himself to " look superior?" It sounds more like he's protecting himself from rejection, which is a common occurrence amongst the insecure. But it doesn't denote that he's acting superior, it's quite the opposite actually. And for scenario 1, it's very possible that he didn't want to make a big deal about it, so he gave it the "lets discuss it another time" answer. Besides, they're dating, not married. It's not like he needs to expose every aspect of himself to her. And as for scenario 2, there's no superiorism there beyond a guy not having the confidence to approach two girls. I don't think "faking an interest by acting superior" is accurate. It's more, "feigning nonchalance to appear undeterred," or in a less wordy sense, "acting/describing yourself to be unbothered to hide the fact one is unbothered." You could call it "a person who rationalizes the truth." This means that they edit the situation to fit around and justify their behavior, even if it isn't reflective of the truth within them. That being said, it sounds like you're a tad cynical. People aren't perfect; people have insecurities -- we all do. And who's to say that how a person deals with these insecurities in "annoying" or "wrong?" Keep an open mind and try not to label people or judge them at your own standards too much.
Guys, please help me with these words?
1 - You can use Axis for : me7war as it's theoretical and if it's not nice to be used, it's the fault of the person who first wrote it in Arabic. I mean it's also not nice in Arabic. Just we get used to it. 2- wezaret el m3aref : Ministry of general learning or general education (both will be right) 3- El Ta2hel el mehany : professions rehabilitation 4- Shwaz : you can use abnormal and between brackets if possible (handicapped) I'm not an expert in translation, but I know it's always difficult to translate from Arabic to English, because Arabic is rich language with special words for giving more meanings to the verbs or names. While English may have one word used in many different cases for different meanings. Generally in this kind of translations you should make sure that the real meaning of the word or sentence is understandable. I don't know where are you, so you better recheck the spelling according to the English you use (British or American) You can send me direct if you need more help, but please remember that I'm not an expert, I just like the topic and I do my best. Good luck

Guys, what's the matter with you and the definitions of words?
Language is remarkably complex. The best writers often compose their works with blatant disregard for the actual denotation, spelling, and grammar that one might consider "proper." The dictionary makes a valiant, if feeble attempt at explaining the definition of a word as concisely as possible, all the while ignoring the context in which that word is used. When it comes to the so-called "ten dollar words," which has probably had its share of inflation and is up to a million bucks, the dictionary is extremely useful. For example, had I given it some deep thought and reflected on the four years of Latin I took in high school, I might not have had to look up "aberrant." (Ab - L., "away from;" Errare - L., "to go") But, it's been quite some time since then, and the dictionary came up with in seconds what might have taken me minutes to figure out. As a rare and very specific word, there was only one dictionary entry, and it perfectly explained the meaning of the word. But for the dime a dozen workhorses of the English language, one concise, terse definition of a word will not suffice. The dictionary can only tell you half the story. The rest must be garnered from context. Unfortunately, as innately simple as the semantics of these words within context may be to some, there is still debate as to their real meaning. Written language has the unfortunate fate of being plagued with the inability to convey tone properly. The slightest lilt or inflection when spoken can dramatically change the meaning of a word. To properly convey tone when written is a difficult task, and I believe this is why we revere a great author so much. You're probably right that a great deal of discrepancies in many issues, not only philosophical, would be solved if the intended meaning of a word could be fully comprehended by the reader as the author meant it. But, that's not the case, and I doubt it ever will be. That's why we have come to respect those who can manipulate language in such a way that accent and inflection can be inferred through the written word. And, as a musician, I'd like to end on the same note on which I began. Language is remarkably complex.
What are some sentences I could use these words in?
I know this may seem a little lazy but I am sick and dead tired. I'm doing a lot of different projects pertaining to the book 'The Great Gatsby' and one of them is to find 10 words in the book that we don't know and to define them and make up our own sentence using the word. I've looked up 54 words (I love vocabulary, okay!) but as I stated above I only need 10. I already know the definitions to all the words but I was wondering if you guys could come up with some sentences for me? Please? :) Here are the words I will be using: Anon Juxtaposition Wan Debauchee Dilatory Laudable Perturbed Vehemently Euphemisms Loafing Meretricious Profusion Reveries Septic Turgid I know thats more then ten but I want a few extras on hand!
That’s because you were not. Are you forgetting the Native American tribes that were here hundreds of years before European settlers? The worst part is that those peoples still exist in modern American society (even though they have integrated) and I am pretty sure you would have learned that from somebody, most likely in school or parents.By the way, why does everybody throw around the term ‘liberal’ so much in the US? Is it so bad to have liberal views? Come on guys, think up some more creative insults. Most of the time it’s not even used right. Here is a breakdown:A lot of people use ‘liberal’ and ‘left wing’ interchangeably, they think they are synonymous. THEY ARE NOT. The word ‘liberal’ means to be more open to listening and accepting views which are different from you’re own. Whereas ‘left wing’ is your social and political views.Similarly, people use ‘conservative’ and ‘right wing’ interchangeably think they are synonymous. THEY ARE WRONG. To be ‘conservative’ means to be unwilling to accept new, alternate views. ‘Right wing’ is your political and social views.Essentially, you can be liberal and right wing, and left wing and conservative, just as you can be liberal and left wing, and right wing and conservative.Finally, why does this matter? Your incoreectly labelled ‘liberals’ are right, and you are incorrect for thinking white people were there first. But who cares who arrived first? You are all American, take pride in that and stop these silly arguments. The reason Americans have such a problem whth racism is that you divide yourself up so much. Stop doing that and just come together.
At the time the second amendment was passed arms referred to any type of weapon that a standing military might have used including muskets and cannons. If one of the reasons given for the second amendment was the desire to have a non professional militia in order to negate the need for a standing professional army, then that militia would have need to access the arms readily available to repel to whatever military force would have been likely to invade. Indeed one of the reasons for the confrontation that occurred at Lexington and Concord was due to the intent of the British to capture stores of powder and arms (including cannon) stored by the colonial militia at Concord. That would argue for the inclusion in the term “arms” any weapon that might be available for use by a standing army. If it is true, as many have argued, that the founders didn't mean to restrict arms to those technologies available at the time the constitution was ratified, then one would have to conclude that all weapons, including machine guns, grenades, plastic explosives, guided missiles, tanks, artillery, nerve gas and nuclear devices are included in that definition and prohibiting their purchase by private citizens would be an infringement of their right to “keep and bear arms”.
