Answer a Question with a Question...

[StarSong]

Or perhaps Canadian ones?

 

[Rosemarie]

Does anyone have any pictures so we can compare them?

 

[hollydolly]

Do you post many pictures on the forum?

 

[StarSong]

Do you enjoy taking or posting pictures?

 

[hollydolly]

Do you enjoy looking at pictures ?

 

[Rosemarie]

Have you ever taken a photo of a snake?

 

[mike4lorie]

Have you read the funny story I posted about a snake?

 

[hollydolly]

Do you find snakes amusing ?

 

[StarSong]

Or do you find snakes rattle your nerves at least a little? (Pun intended)

 

[Kaila]

Are grass snakes the same as the harmless garter snakes, that we have in northern USA, near Canada?

 

[Rosemarie]

Are they green like ours are?

 

[Pink Biz]

Were you aware that it isn't easy being green?

 

[hollydolly]

Do you recycle as much as possible ?

 

[Rosemarie]

Does your area have a problem with fly-tipping?

 

[hollydolly]

Would you ensure fly tippers had more severe punishments ?

 

[Rosemarie]

Wouldn't it be better if councils provided a better collection service?

 

[StarSong]

Is fly tipping a big problem where you live? (I had to look up fly tipping because I'd never heard the term before. For the equally uninformed, apparently fly-tippers are people who dump trash in unauthorized places, like the sides of the road or vacant lots.)

 

[Kaila]

Wouldn't those little, skinny green harmless snakes be happier, if there was less fly tipping,
even though they might eat flies?

 

[hollydolly]

Did you think we were talking about dumping bags of dead flies ?

( as an aside and a genuine question, what do you call fly-tipping in the USA) ?

We call it Illegal dumping. Honestly, I had absolutely no idea what it meant. Couldn't have hazarded a guess. Wouldn't have even thought it involved garbage or something dead.

Can you usually figure out "King's English" (or American) terms, but are sometimes totally mystified by them?

 

[hollydolly]

(answer)I think unless it's something very obscure..slang from the deep south or something, I'm pretty au fait with American English , much of American terms are different to English, but taken from and the same as .. Scottish /Irish, which is what I am, born and raised..


Question..to last question... ''Do you find it hard to learn languages other than your own ?

 

[Rosemarie]

Is it easier to learn another language by ear, rather than from a book?

 

[hollydolly]

Would you prefer to learn by action than by theory ?

 

[Granny B.]

Do you think you are too old to learn something new?

 

[Rosemarie]

Did you know that learning new things keeps our brain cells healthy?
