English

Answer:

B) off course not

Explanation:

Almost all word processing programs come equipped with a tool for checking both spelling and grammar. ... An ordinary spell checker will find few or no errors in the above sentence. This is because spell checkers can only detect if words are spelled correctly, not if they are used correctly.

Below are just some of the dangers of relying on spell check:

Spell check cannot help you with some proper names, such as "Heston" or "Jolie."

Spell check will not detect the improper use of homonyms, such as "their" and "there."

Spell check may flag words as errors which are indeed correct.

Spell check does not always offer useful spelling suggestions for severely misspelled words.

For example, the following are some commonly misused words that standard spellcheckers will not catch:

advise/advice

loose/lose

passed/past

dessert/desert

weather/whether

then/than

site/sight/cite

Unfortunately, grammar checkers are similarly limited. They are, in fact, more limited than spell checkers. The limitations have nothing to do with technology or software, but rather are caused by the nature of grammar itself.

For example, a traditional grammar checker will detect no problems with the following passage.

"Marketing are bad for brand big and small. You Know What I am Saying? It is no wondering that advertisings are bad for company in America, Chicago and Germany. ... McDonald's and Coca Cola are good brand. ... Gates do good marketing job in Microsoft."

This is truly frightening considering that each of the sentences in the passage contains numerous grammatical errors!

Also, consider the following sentence:

"Thinking it was open, the door was really closed."

Grammar check will alert the writer that the main clause may contain a verb in the passive voice. But there is no passive voice here, just a thinking door.

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

He uses the big stick metaphor as a way of representing a kind of friendly diplomacy, but prepared for anything.

Explanation:

The "big stick" metaphor was widely used in the speeches of President Theodore Roosevelt Jr., as a way of representing the country's diplomatic policies. To create this term, Roosevelt was inspired by the African proverb "speak softly and have a big stick", to represent a friendly diplomacy, but which had great power to face any unwanted intervention. Roosevelt devoted this term mainly to the attempts of European interventions in the American continent, he affirmed that the USA had a great economic, political and military power to prevent these interventions, although looking for a friendly relationship with Europe.

Why is it so important for lawmakers to act against discrimination based on<br> hairstyles?
Aleksandr [31]
It’s important because hair discrimination IS race discrimination. sadly, it is not new, and it is not novel. minorities have suffered hair discrimination for years. a recent study found that african american women face the highest instances of hair discrimination and are more likely to be sent home from the workplace because of their hair. The study also uncovered that 80 percent of african american women felt they needed to switch their hairstyle to align with more conservative standards in order to fit in at work. hair discrimination occurs not only in the workplace, but in schools as well.
