And my english suck, deal with it, i learned it from the internet what do you want? that is for the post under me too.

I want people to get better at English (at least high-school level) before engaging in an online argument - where it be knowingly or unknowingly. It would help avoid a whole lot of misunderstandings. (This goes out to the general public btw, not just you.)
Oh, and I also want a million dollars.


No offence taken, you are right.

It's just that i want to learn it, and i write at forums to learn by experience. I can understand any text and watch T.V. on English with out problems, but when it comes to writing or talking i suck.

Um.. Any historians here? If so do anyone have any knowledge about the American Bahamian connection?

(I really didn't find it in google)

English question:
if you are jealous because the girl you like talks with another guy.
you are:
1.jealous at the girl
2.jealous at the guy
3.jealous of the girl
or
4.jealous of the guy.

I somehow think that no.1 and 4 are right, but when looking for the definition for jealous, it's only with "of" and not "at". So what could you say?

thanks

For me, it's more common hearing "of" used, so I'd say number four is the correct one.

Still trying her best,
Pika.

Definitely "of".
Unless jealousy is a sharp physical object you can throw AT someone's face.

Like others have said, it's definitely "of".
For future reference, here is a site which gives you nice lists of collocations smile .

I have a problem regarding utorrent.

utorrent has been my default torrent downloader for years, but suddenly with the new versions I can't choose where to save my files - it automatically saves it for me. So for the people who use this, is there a solution for this? Because I am seriously tired of having to move my files all the time.

You should be able to change the default directory the files are saved to by going to Options -> Preferences, then choose Directories on the left, and change the options there.

Ah, nevermind. I figured it out. I just had to toggle torrent view. Thanks for your concern.

Umm.... blunt bangs? Straight bangs? Are you mainly referring to her bangs...? I don't think there really is a name for the overall hairstyle... or maybe, something like, long hair with straight/blunt bangs... or something. Gah, my mother is a hairstylist actually and I don't even really know exactly what it is.........

I think... it's a very Asian hairstyle, hahaha. I like it, but it's not a hairstyle for every girl... I think... maybe.... I dunno.....

I had hair like that for a short while. I liked it but it was a bit hard to keep up with since I liked keeping the bang hairs past my eyebrows and right above my eyes, so it was annoying when they would grow and get in the way of my eyes. @_@ And theeen I grew them to side-swept bangs which I think looks better on me....

But um.... straight bangs are nice! Hehe...!

Does this answer your question? I hope it's not totally rambling.... Blargh.

Love,
Pika.

Yeah I'm referring to the bangs and the long hair, and that extra hair on the side. It emanates somehow elegant and intelligent feelings. haha. I realize though, that it doesn't look as good for people as it does for manga/anime characters.
I love the way you replied, thanks!

Well here I go...

I have a dell inspirion 1545 that I bought a year ago, however recently my battery have been dwindling. Now it only hold 15 mins of charge, so I decided to order a replacement battery but I also bought a charger as well to because it recently wont work anymore.

Now I got home from school today, and the replacement battery works fine!! but the when I plug in the charger, it would say plugged in but not charging. Then a message would pop and say it dont reconige it because it is not 65w or more to power the battery. However, on the replacement charger it specifically says 65w!!.

I don't know what to do because I need my laptop, Can any help please!!

I have read a lot of shoujo mangas where people transfer their phone numbers just by having their phones touch (sending signals I suppose). Does this actually happen a lot in Japan, and what about other places in the world?
