I'm suddenly glad I decided not to go 35m. That stuff is so ridiculous.

This thread is making me afraid to even get a job that requires DLI.

hammeredspace posted:Seems the way to actually find out is obtain a urine test and test yourself - or preferably a civilian who has nothing to lose over the matter. or... just don't join the military if you want to spend your time doing drugs. (Which is completely fine) But really, there's no argument here. It's not like in civilian life where you are born into these laws and there's realistically nothing you can do about it. When joining, people have to consciously accept these rules, and say that they understand them. Just don't do it. Doesn't matter if they can test for it.

"An" is generally employed to avoid a stop between words, so you use your best judgement. Acronyms and Abbreviations follow the same rules. an x-ray, an NCO, a JO, etc. Hammerdspace, you could always aspire to be my 12th grade English Teacher. She was the only teacher I ever had that gave a gently caress, and all she got for it was misery. I think the only reason she maintained composure when she found out that only one of us (not me) knew what an appositive is was because she was unable to decide between rage or sadness. Clearly I didn't learn enough, because I still can't come up with a more graceful way to word that sentence. Edit: I sometimes say an historian, but I also pluralize octopus as octopodes, so keep that in mind. Comradephate fucked around with this message at 15:47 on Sep 30, 2010 |

The only job that requires fluency in a foreign language before you start is interpreter, at least in the Army.

This is an entirely academic question, but I don't know a better place to ask, and I'm curious. What are some of the linguistic tendencies/stumbling blocks of people who are native speakers of American English (besides drooling and trying not to spit up on themselves in public) when they speak other languages? For example, Poles often replace v's with w's when speaking English, Spanish speakers sometimes drop j's, and so on.

Delayed response, but thanks for the replies to my inane question. That was pretty much what I was looking for.
