I admit. The articles are the most difficult things I find in this language but I'm learning and I'm better than before! I've been reading about the articles in several authentic books and have a question now.      Does the adjective 'same' ALWAYS have the definite article 'the'?    In fact, looking at complexities of using the articles for zillions of nouns, I feel at least this word -same will make me sure using the article the if this is the case! So, next time on, I'll never make a mistake by not putting the before same.

Is it possible to give the letters a,e,i,o,u,y a different color in a piece of text? For instance, color all the a's red, the e's blue, the i's green, etc.  EDIT: Without doing it manually of course.

Is there any rule for when it is better to use genitive case or noun as adjective? I'm not sure if there is any difference in meaning in this example:     The department of accounting       The accounting department   Can I also use both forms in situations like:     The restaurants of Paris / The Paris restaurants      The room window / The window of the room

Well this might sound weird but yeah that's exactly what I want to know!  Now as per US-English colors is the right word and as per British-English colours is the right word. Here in India we follow British English and also the local trend on Google Trends suggests that colours is more searched for in the market that my site is gonna target.   Also when I went through my competitors site they are mixing both keywords colors and colours.  As we all know Google returns separate results for colors and colours.  So I am kinda confused. Should I go for mixing of both the keywords which I feel is wrong or should stick with one keyword?

I often find myself trying to determine which colour is the "complementary" one of (or would nicely fit with) two colours imposed by the client brand. At times, only one colour is imposed, and I want to find two colours that would fit it.  Is there a quick and easy way to figure it out?

Is there something higher (better) than the word premium, or does it mean the best? Also, is there something in between premium and deluxe?  Graphically: Does any word fit here? > Premium > Does any word fit here? > Deluxe

What is the difference between the words which and that?  For example I have the following sentences:   “I have a car which is blue.” “I have a car that is blue.”   Are there any rules specifying usage of which and that?

So, when I was a comparative novice to the novice I am right now, I used to think that these two things were syntactic sugar for each other, i.e. that using one over the other was simply a personal preference. Over time, I'm come to find that these two are not the same thing, even in a default implementation (see  and ). To further confuse the matter, each can be overridden/overloaded separately to have completely different meanings.   Is this a good thing, what are the differences, and when/why should you use one over the other?

Which one should be used?      To me, it makes no difference, but I'm not really sure why.   vs     For me, it makes no difference, but I'm not really sure why.

Sometimes I go through articles and find the expression utilize, I've always been wondering if there are special cases in which it should be used instead of used.  Also because  clearly shows that used is used (sorry for that ;D) much more.  Thanks for your help and happy new year!

One of the examples in my English composition book (for learning to write my language's sentences in English) was "Why he committed suicide under such a good circumstance is an unsolved question.", but what I would have written would have been "Why he suicided...".  What's the difference between "commit suicide" and "suicide"?  (I think I saw 'commit suicide' more than just 'suicide', and the spell checker of Google Chrome says that 'suicided' is not a  word, even though I think it .)

Are the words "toward" and "towards" synonymous?  If not, when should I use one over the other?  "Towards" usually sounds silly to my ear, but is that just me?

I realize (or realise?) I may be splitting hairs here, but I find this question interesting, and I’ve never heard or seen it discussed before.  I was about to post a quote from Rich Hickey outside my cubicle, taken from  with him, in which the writer uses the traditional British spelling of realize.  Hickey is an American, as am I, so I changed it back to the American spelling.    However, it got me thinking: if Hickey were British, should I spell it his way?  The question then is whether I should do so only if quoting something he wrote, or even if I were quoting something he spoke — and thus something he did not actually spell.    Tangentially: should I think of this as quoting Hickey himself, or quoting the author who quoted him?  My gut instinct is that if you’re quoting something written, then you should maintain whatever spelling the author used, and if something spoken then it’s debatable, and using the spelling of your dialect (or of your audience’s dialect) is probably okay.   But I’d like to know: do any conventions exist on this matter?

Could I get an example as to how these three elements (are these called metacharacters?) differ?  I know that * means all or nothing, but I am not sure if it's the right way to think about it. On the other hand . and ? seem the same. They match one character, right?

Is black a color or absence of color? When there is no light, everything is black, so how can we say that black is a color?
