People sometimes ask me to explain something to them. How can I explain myself into further details?
The ability to be concise is a rare gift. Congratulations! But my guess is your teacher (I'm assuming it's a teacher) is asking for more because you've been a little too concise.Irony: Can you ask them to go into more detail about what it is that they want?Is there any opportunity to look at other people's work to see what the person considers to be a "complete answer" to their questions?Are you making assumptions about what the reader knows? Perhaps they want your answer to be complete for the average person on the street, not for someone who is taking the same class. (e.g., you could make reference to whatever source material gave you the ideas you are discussing.)Could your paper offer up an example of the ideas you are proposing? Or perhaps relate your thoughts to something else that would be highly relevant to the reader?Are you using a proper essay structure (introducing your topic, stating what it is that you are going to establish in the paper, establishing those facts, summarizing what you have just established)?
Why do people sometimes ask you to call someone else on the phone when they can do it easily by themselves?
The most common situation where this occurs is where you have a self-employed professional such as a lawyer, doctor or engineer who bills at a high hourly rate. He or she will have a clerical worker who is paid $11.00/hour to their $150.00/hr make the calls. It is a lot more intelligent to have the professional working on a billable project than sitting listening to hold music.
Do people who don't have to ask the price sometimes ask anyway just because they don't like to waste money?
Do people who don't have to ask the price sometimes ask anyway just because they don't like to waste money?Of course they do mainly because most people who, as the question implies, perhaps have enough money that price doesn’t matter didn’t get that way by wasting money.Those who buy anything without KNOWING the price are unlikely to become those who will ever be considered to not need to ask the price.In the UK most goods have the price clearly marked, so there’s no actual need to ask, in the event that the price of a thing on a supermarket shelf isn’t marked it’s known that most, who don’t know the price, will not purchase.
People sometimes ask gay people when they realized that they were gay? If so, why don't gay people ask straight people? Is it because of society?
I have heard people ask that, which feels as strange to the gay person as it would to a straight person. Often there was no "realization." What people don't understand is that a gay person is gay, period. They always have been, and it's natural for them. People seem to think being straight is some kind of default, which is why people ask men if they have a girlfriend and women if they have a boyfriend, when, in fact, sexuality is a spectrum with no real defined boundaries, so asking that always contains an unwarranted assumption.
Why do people around here sometimes ask a question without stating the subject?
Evidently it’s because they have neither the time nor the inclination to consider carefully what they are about to ask, and whether their question is likely to be understood by those able to answer.They are probably the kinds of people who use expressions like ‘around here’.
People sometimes ask, “what keeps a satellite up in its orbit around the earth?” How would you answer?
the satellite is constantly falling to the earth, it's just that the speed that it's travelling at horizontally is the same as the rate of decent.... example when you throw a ball horizontally, it will hit the ground... the faster you throw the ball, the farther it travels..same with the satelite just soooo much faster, that it just doesn't get the chance to actually hit the ground
People sometimes ask, "What keeps a satellite up in its orbit around the earth?" How would you respond?
In essence, the satellite's motion is the sum of a horizontal and vertical component. Because there is no friction in space it is possible to balance these two motions (or vectors) by carefully calculation of launch trajectory and speed so that it neither flies away out of the earth's gravitational clutches nor falls back to Earth but is, to all practical purposes, falling towards Earth and "sideways" past it at exactly the same rate as the Earth is moving away from it, thru space. The resultant motion is a stable orbit.
