[Duplicate thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=68625)

**jhyll06** , I have three pieces of advice for you. First, if you have a question, ask it once, and once only. If we don’t answer it the first time (for whatever reason), we won’t answer it the second time, either. Do not do this again.

Second, respect the language. For all I know, you’re a prodigy with an IQ of 300, but from reading your posts, it looks like you’re an immature pre-teen who skipped school on the day they were talking about spelling. This does not make folks more likely to respect you or to help you.

Third, we will, at times, help students with homework, but we will not do your homework for you. It’s fine if folks want to help you dig up sources, but don’t expect much more than that.
