What, If Any, Is the Difference Between "Ma Chu00e9re"/"Mon Cher" and "Ma Cherie"/"Mon Chu00e9ri"?

Because you already have perfectly good answers, I will tell you a funny anecdote.My wife is Brazilian and we spend at least a few weeks each year in Brazil in her family and I have the best relation possible with my Brother in law Alberto. Alberto has a very easy-going personality and in a very bazilian way treat everybody he meets like an old time friend and call mere acquaintances Querido (dear).

My wife calls me Mon Chri, which is perfectly OK between spouse in french and sounds good even in a Portuguese sentence. Early in our marriage, my brother in law tried to call me Mon Chri, the surprise was such that I almost choked on what I was eating. After a good laugh we told him that Mon chri was definitively off-limit and that Mon cher felt stuffy.

Is it worth learning assembly?

Assembly is machine language, in a different form. (Its like the difference between handwriting and typography in gold ink.

) Every machine language instruction has an assembly equivalent and every assembly instruction has a machine language equivalent. Is it worth learning it? That depends on where you plan to go.

If youll never use it, itll still teach you what the CPU is doing at any given time, so youll have a better idea of what youre doing, but a lot of very good C programmers wouldnt recognize assembly if they choked on it. But it is handy to be able to tear the asm file apart to make it more efficient. (The asm file, the intermediate file between C and an exe file, is assembly.

)Of course, if youre planning to start writing in assembly, its not only worth it, its required

How do I pay for nursing home care with social security?

Medicaid will cover long term care if the person has no funds.

If the person has funds, for example if they own a house, etc, they will need to guarantee payment until they have spent down their funds. If the person owns a house and their spouse also lives there, it is likely the spouse can remain in the house and later when the house is sold, some of the proceeds may have to go to payment of the nursing home bill. Medicaid looks back 5 years to make sure the funds were not hidden or given away when it could have been spent on long term care.

In other words, you can't sell the home and give away or gamble away the proceeds within the 5 year look-back period.In the case of short term rehab, in which the plan is for the person to return home within 180days, Medicare will pay.

How do you say, u201chave a good dayu201d in Japanese?

I am a native speaker of American English. I wish I knew what have a good day means in English. This expression came into use in the US in the 1960s and 1970s, but it still sounds strange to my ear.

It is not an expression that I ever use myself, although I have finally gotten used to it enough that I will reply same to you if I hear it.When this expression was first coming into use, people would sometimes humorously reply, Dont tell me what kind of a day to have!.

Having a good day apparently not being good enough, or precise enough, this has now evolved into wonderful day, or a good rest of the day. in English, we have many simple, useful expressions for departing from each other, and I sure dont understand where this one came from

What is signed char and unsigned char exactly?

Nothing much, really.

Check out this piece of code:int main() char ch; unsigned char uch; ch231; uch(char)ch; std::cout

With unsigned int, it simply restarts at 0.This is interesting observation in how C handles characters- not as ascii/utf/any-other-format values but as integers.EDIT: Basically, there is no difference.

Both behave in the same fashion and in algebraic arithmetic should give the same result. In comparisons, however, there may be some difficulties as the integral values are different beyond 127.

Why is Java better than any other programming language?

Java is great in team settings, where you have to work with others on a single code base. Its good for companies that way. Its clean looking, and doesnt have obscure things like templates, macros, and operator overloading (thank goodness).

It doesnt have problems like being able to use memory after freeing it. Its forgiving in a way, where when someone introduces a bug, that you probably end up with stacktraces that lead to the culprit quickly. In C on the other hand, half the time, you end up with sporadic bugs that only happen on the customers end.

There are tools like valgrind, but they dont catch everything. Java is also awesome at multi threading. Things are generally well organized.

The APIs are almost entirely cross platform. It might well be *the* most sophisticated multiplatform system ever conceived. There is also a huge wealth of third party libraries to draw from.

What was the relationship like between Czechs and Slovaks during Czechoslovakia's socialist era?

As the czech were fairly ethnically and culturally mixed with germans! The government was trying to move as many slovaks to czech part, to make them more slavic which work only into an extent!

The czechs were being mentally brain washed over 70 years period of time into pan slavic culture, probably very important in czech question considering they were western country politically and much ethnically as well! And kept sending tons lot of money to slovaks who never hesitated to ask for more and more! As at beginning they had really nothing in common and many people were against Czechoslovakia!

Even during communism but people weren't allowed to Openly speak about their concerns! So in sence it made again much easier to keep influencing people! Czechoslovakian state was partial reason for all the unfortunate events and economic state of czechia who is still bearing consequences today!

Is it now a thing to answer a telephone call and then not say anything? Why aren't people answering the phone and saying hello first?

I think its actually due to VOIP technology taking a second or so to fully bring the connection up.

Older phones were based on analog technology - the telephone switch was originally a huge board with jacks and cables, human operators would literally switch the plug corresponding to your phone to the jack corresponding to the recipients phone, later this was done by electromechanical relays. So when the recipient picked up the phone to answer, immediately there was established a direct line of current from your phone to theirs. Now, it seems that there is a slight delay between when the recipient hits the answer button (usually an emulated software control), and when the connection is actually established, so if the recipient immediately says Hello, theyre speaking into a dead line.

Ive noticed this is the case, so now I wait a second before speaking. I think that is what is going on here

Why should I learn Esperanto?

Mi lernis Esperanton, kaj la lingua non estas useful.

Well, thats about as far I can get 20 years since the last time I used Esperanto for anything.I think its worth taking a look at Esperanto to see how its put together and the thinking behind it, but Esperanto wasnt good enough for this group or that group, and people kept messing with it, reforming it, improving it, making it more suitable to one group or another until the thing began to resemble a natural language family: EsperantidoThe net result was not enough people adopted any of these competing standards, and the whole project failed conceptually. Its a fascinating curiosity, but as a language it is only slightly more useful than Klingon in the real world, in my opinion.

The trouble with Esperanto reminds me of this classic xkcd: StandardsIn any event, everyone extolling the virtues of this wonderful language has thus far omitted the best reason to learn Esperanto:

Is it true that Danish people say Norwegian people actually speak Danish but with a Norwegian accent?

No, we can easily hear that Norwegian (even in the poshest West Oslo variant) is a different language from ours, and not just an accent. I have only heard that claim from Brits and (more rarely) Americans, never from Danes.

That said in the late 90s I once talked to a c. 60 year old librarian at the National Library in Oslo who spoke something that reminded me of Danish with a Norwegian accent while still giving off a native Norwegian vibe, but its the only time I have ever been in doubt whether someone was a Norwegian using a posh accent and a lot of old fashioned Danish vocabulary or a Dane using a Norwegian tone, and I think he probably was Danish born and just had thoroughly adapted his Danish to the most bourgeois West Oslo sociolect after spending decades in Oslo

I want to ask my professor out after I graduate. Should I do it?

Yeah, go for it. You're aware of the risks (rejection, getting used, painful break up, etc) and the benefits (sex, fun, adventure, etc). Anything could happen.

If I knew more of the specifics (Is he an obviously, traditionally handsome man? Is he married? Is he overly familiar with his students?

) I could increase or decrease the odds of certain outcomes, but at the end of the day, it's a risk regardless.Some people might say it's unethical or creepy, but that's totally subjective. As for the risks he'd be facing (getting shunned by his colleagues, earning a reputation as a lecherous old weirdo, maybe getting fired, etc) I think those are his problem, not yours.

He can decide whether he wants to take that risk or not.The only thing that should stop you, as others have pointed out, is whether there's a chance you'll be pursuing a graduate degree at this school in his field of study. If that's the case, you shouldn't do it.
