Re: Languages

If you're not good with accents though, you can probably also tell just by the words and phrases they use; the easiest example for me at the moment is that Canadians say "washroom" where an American would use "bathroom". I prefer saying restroom when I'm being formal, like at a ...

Re: Languages

Speaking of language, has anyone from America had problems with British accents? I've heard some people say they could hardly understand people from the UK, but I've never had a problem except with the harshest of accents that even British people make fun of.

Re: Homework Thread

In regards to fractions, the best way to deal with anything in math is simplify, simplify, simplify. Take for example: 2x + 6y = 4 It would look so much nicer if you could divide it by 2, but wait you can! x + 3y = 2 Both of those equations are equivalent. For a fraction example (x+y)/2 + y = 5 take...

Here's a helpful tip for everyone with a graphing calculator. You can get your TI-83/TI-84 to solve algebra. You need to go to Math, then at the bottom to Solve.

Midwestern accent here, though Chicagoan accent (where I live) is pretty different from say Indiana or the rural midwest area.

The first Left 4 Dead felt like a nicely put together, but empty game. Not hardly enough weapons and maps for a zombie apocalypse. And no melee weapons? How will I know that I have met the zombies in equal combat without it? Killing Floor provided that and a class system that kept you playing.
