13. Okt. 2004 · Noun: focus and focuses and focussing. Verb: focus, focuses or focusses, focusing or focussing, focused or focussed. I've used both forms, but when I'm more conscious with spelling then I use the ones with the extra s. Don't exactly know why when both forms are correct. I guess I just want to conform to the rule of consonant-vowel-consonant ...

26. Mai 2012 · Boston, MA. American English. May 26, 2012. #8. This is what I think: If Mexican is used as an adjective, and American is used as a noun,, then there is no hyphen. I'm not a Mexican American, but a Northeastern American. There are many Mexican Americans in the US. If the two words form a compound noun that refers to a group, then they get ...
2. Jan. 2021 · American R is the /ɹ/ consonant, not the /r/ consonant. But Americans pronounce "er" as a vowel. In American English the "er" is an "R-colored E", a single vowel sound. The IPA symbol is /ɚ/. It is not an E sound followed by an R sound. So in "rather than", you have two /ð/ consonants with an /ɚ/ in between: /raðɚðan/. R-colored vowel ...
11. Juni 2007 · Jun 12, 2007. #9. Trisia said: It used to be Afro-American, but the [politically correct] term is African-American. There's a thread about this in the Cultural Discussions Forum. Neither black nor African American can properly be classified as "politically correct." They are, instead, respectful terms, the modern equivalent to Negro and before ...
27. Nov. 2007 · May 9, 2012. #7. As Brioche explained above, "American" is both an adjective and a noun. "I am X" calls for an adjective. "I am an X" calls for a noun. Since "American" is both, it fits in either slot. In English, sometimes the adjective and noun are the same for a nationality and sometimes they aren't. A few examples:
9. Aug. 2016 · When the syllable is not stressed, american people pronounce the D as a flap D. Like in "wa t er" or "lea d er". But in this sound (flap D) you can't go from D straight to N without making a little schwa sound. Cause the tongue needs to separate from the palate to make the flap D. So it would be: sʌd (ə)n. dɪd (ə)nt.
6. Sept. 2011 · English - England. Sep 6, 2011. #2. The full stop (BE) / period (AE) is used after Mr. Mrs. Dr. but not Miss; Ms, though never written out. I hope the Mods will forgive me, but the many lines of this quote lay out the perceived rules: The [American] rule is to place a period after each abbreviation….

17. Okt. 2006 · In American English, # can stand either for "number" or "pound" (the unit of weight). Most commonly, it is the former meaning that is meant, except when referring to the # key on a telephone. In that case, you will find (at least in the USA) that automated voice menus accessed by telephones will sometimes direct you to "press the pound key ...
29. Apr. 2014 · USA, English. Apr 29, 2014. #2. In the USA, you rarely see stand alone butcher shops, but when you do there is no apostrophe "s". So it would read, "Butcher shop". In the supermarket the department is usually labelled "butcher shop" or "meat market". The wholesale meat market might be called a "slaughter house" or "abattoir".
