How do you tell a spelling mistake from a grammar mistake? For example:  Your the best. This iz the end. I likes music. She preatend to be asleep.  One method is to read the erroneous sentence aloud (let’s call it the ‘speech method’): if the sentence sounds correct then it has a spelling mistake, otherwise it has a grammar mistake. Applied to the examples, 1 and 2 have spelling mistakes, and 3 and 4 have grammar mistakes. Another method is to look up each word of the erroneous sentence in a dictionary (let’s call it the ‘dictionary method’): if the sentence uses a word that is not in the dictionary, then it has a spelling mistake, otherwise it has a grammar mistake. Applied to the examples, 1 and 3 have grammar mistakes, and 2 and 4 have spelling mistakes. The problem is that these two methods give different results (for 1 and 4, not for 2 and 3). Which method should I use?
If a person uses the wrong form of your or you're, would that be considered a spelling or grammatical error? I can really see it swinging both ways...  A sentence with the incorrect use of the word is technically grammatically incorrect, but the root cause could be simple spelling error. If a person speaks a sentence with an incorrect use of the word in question, it seems grammatically correct. When you look at the reader's script, it is then determined to be a spelling error.  When shown in writing, should the error be marked as a spelling or grammatical error?
Maximum number of files being uploaded by input type file Lazy Eye in Infants, Preparations for Seeing a Specialist My youngest (14 months) has started showing signs of either strabismus or ambylopia (both commonly referred to as "lazy eye", where one eye seems to track differently than the other when the child is tired or isn't focusing).  We're going to see an ophthalmologist once the pediatrician weighs in and recommends one, and I'm interested in suggestions for what I should look for in an ophthalmologist, and in what we should do to prepare for the visit.  Particularly, how important is it that we find one that specifically mentions these conditions as things they specialize in?  They're fairly common conditions (affecting over 4% of children), so I would expect most pediatric ophthalmologists to have as one of their main purposes helping to diagnose and treat lazy eyes; but many do not mention them in their list of specializations.    And, in terms of preparation, do we need to keep track of time or length of lazy eye bouts?  Should we take any videos?  Our pediatrician hasn't noticed this in her periodic checks, but I suspect that he's more focused during these visits (a person he's not that used to, who is talking a lot to him).  I worry the ophthalmologist will have the same problem - not be able to diagnose because of lack of presentation during the visit. Sum of (example: 0+1+2+3 = 6 , 0+1+2+3+4+5+6+7 = 28 and so on) What is aperture, and how does it affect my photographs? How does aperture affect my photographs?  Why should I care about the aperture with which a photo was taken? Here's Prob. 3, Chap. 3 in the book Principles of Mathematical Analysis by Walter Rudin, 3rd edition:      If $s_1 = \sqrt{2}$, and $$s_{n+1} = \sqrt{2 + \sqrt{s_n}} \ \ (n = 1, 2, 3, \ldots),$$ prove that $\left\{ s_n \right\}$ converges, and that $s_n &lt; 2$ for $n = 1, 2, 3, \ldots$.    My effort:   We can show that $\sqrt{2} \leq s_n \leq 2$ for all $n = 1, 2, 3, \ldots$. [Am I right?]  Then we can also show that $s_n &lt; s_{n+1}$ for all $n = 1, 2, 3, \ldots$. [Am I right?]  But how to calculate the exact value of the limit? Where does this sequence occur in applications? Photoshop CS6 Resize Rectangle with Rounded Corners This question is about Photoshop CS6. Hopefully the feature was added in this version. Before posting I looked up Google and  and  but didn't find an answer for CS6.  So the question is: Is there a feature within CS6 or a script that allows to resize a vector element with rounded corners without using the Direct Selection Tool (white arrow tool) and not changing the border radius? What would be great would be something like simply using the transform tool or something like a grid resize tool. Database synchronization between dev/staging and production A Variation of the even-town odd-town problem Let assume facebook has $n$ users. Mark Zuckerberg decided that people are allowed to open groups under the following restrictions:      1) No two different groups can exactly the same participants.      2) The number of users in each group is even.      3) Every two group has an odd number of common users.      Denote by $m$ the maximal number of groups that can be formed in facebook under the restrictions mentioned above. Prove $m \leq n$.   I tried solving this by defined a matrix, multiplying it by its transpose and using some rank considerations I thought I could derive the bound, but I didn't succeed. Could you please give me a hint?  The question had anther subsection : prove that in the case that $n$ is even than we have stron inequality Basic Excel currency format with Apache POI I'm able to get cells to format as Dates, but I've been unable to get cells to format as currency... Anyone have an example of how to create a style to get this to work?  My code below show the styles I'm creating... the styleDateFormat works like a champ while styleCurrencyFormat has no affect on the cell.  private HSSFWorkbook wb; private HSSFCellStyle styleDateFormat = null; private HSSFCellStyle styleCurrencyFormat = null;   ......  public CouponicsReportBean(){     wb = new HSSFWorkbook();     InitializeFonts();  }  public void InitializeFonts() {     styleDateFormat = wb.createCellStyle();     styleDateFormat.setDataFormat(HSSFDataFormat.getBuiltinFormat("m/d/yy"));       styleCurrencyFormat = wb.createCellStyle();     styleCurrencyFormat.setDataFormat(HSSFDataFormat.getBuiltinFormat("$#,##0.00"));  } What does the function f: x ↦ y mean? I am doing , and am having a few problems with function notation. I understand the form f(x).  What does the form f: x ↦ y mean? Could you also give one or two examples?

I understand the mathematics of commutation relations and anti-commutation relations, but what does it physically mean for an observable (self-adjoint operator) to commute with another observable (self-adjoint operator) in quantum mechanics?   E.g. an operator $A$ with the Hamiltonian $H$? I'm looking for the name of a sci-fi series, intended for children. Robots have control over the humans. There is a squad of humans who attack them. Every member in this squad has a badge on their suit, and when they touch this badge the suit becomes armed. This series was not cartoon series, it was performed by real people. The main robot character is very similar in style to Darth Vader in Star Wars. The series aired in the 1990s. I am sorry but I can't recall many details. In Ruby on Rails, how do I format a date with the "th" suffix, as in, "Sun Oct 5th"? I want to display dates in the format: short day of week, short month, day of month without leading zero but including "th", "st", "nd", or "rd" suffix.  For example, the day this question was asked would display "Thu Oct 2nd".  I'm using Ruby 1.8.7, and  just doesn't seem to do this.  I'd prefer a standard library if one exists. Is it possible to add images to comments? I was wondering if it is possible to post a comment with an image.  Recently, during a question about data-visualization in Cross Validated, there was a controversy about using one type of chart for another.   I had posted a question about pie-charts, after reading some references I decided to build an example and clarify the point of using waffle-chart vs pie-chart. In a way, my example was not an answer it was more properly a comment on waffle-charts. But it seems to be impossible to post a comment with an image (Maybe, there is a way but I can't figure out how).  I don't know if it is relevant to post images in comments in other SO sites. So, if there is no way to post images in comments... why not making it possible? And if there is a way to post an image with a comment, how I can do it? How to change the light grey text that many web sites seem to use these days? Of late, I've noticed that many web sites seem to be using light grey text for many sections of their sites. Some such sections include - the text (link, usually) that shows in the status bar at the bottom of the browser when you hover the mouse over a link on their page, the indicator text in form fields to be filled in (e.g. the word "email" in the email address field), and many other elements on the page.  That light grey makes it much less readable.    Not sure whether is a new trend, or something to do with my browser settings (I haven't changed them lately, AFAIK), or Google Chrome, which is my browser. This is on Windows 7 running on a Dell Vostro laptop. I added the info about the laptop because I suspect the problem may even be due to my hardware settings, since I found the default brightness to be too high after I bought it, and changed it via Control Panel.  Would like to know what are some of the things I can check or change to solve this.  Thanks. How to install Gnome 3 without breaking Unity? I tried installing gnome 3 , but it broke Unity and I had to reinstall Natty from scratch.  Does anyone know if there is a way to install Gnome 3 without breaking Unity? A linking verb is a verb which connects a subject to its predicate   without expressing an action. A linking verb is used to re-identify or   describe its subject.      Ex:      Alan is a beast.      Alan seems drunk.   But I would say that some linking verbs can be used with "continuous tenses" &amp; other linking verbs can not, but I am not sure.      (linking verb) to experience a particular feeling or emotion      Ex: I’m feeling a little better today.      Do you still feel hungry?   So, feel in this meaning can be used with continuous tenses  But I would think this sentence "Do you still feel hungry?" does not make much sense because it uses "simple present tense" which expresses something that happens regularly. Noone would feel hungry regularly.  So, that sentence "you feel hungry" would mean "you always feel hungry".      (linking verb) (not used in the progressive tenses): to have a   particular physical quality which you become aware of by touching         adj.         The water feels warm.      Its skin feels really smooth.    says "Speakers sometimes use the Simple Present to express the idea that an action is happening or is not happening now. This can only be done with Non-Continuous Verbs and certain Mixed Verbs."  so, "The water feels warm." could mean "The water is always warm" (simple present expressing things that happen regularly - more or less permanent action)  But "The water feels warm." could mean "The water is warm now" (simple present with non-continuous verb expressing things that is happening now - a temporary action)     : (linking verb) to seem; to appear         adj.         to look pale/happy/tired      That book looks interesting.   In dictionary,      (linking verb) (not used in the progressive tenses): to   give the impression of being or doing something         adj.         She didn't appear surprised at all.       (to somebody) (to be) something (not used in the progressive tenses): to give the impression of being or doing something (synonym:   appear)         adj.         You seem happy.   So, we cannot say "you are seeming happy" or "you are appearing happy".  But I am not sure I can say "You are looking good" (sounds right to my ears) or "That book is looking interesting." (doesn't sound right to my ears)  But we can say "The future’s looking good." ()  So, some verbs has the same meaning but one can be used with "continuous" &amp; the other can not, right?  Ex: "you are looking happy", but "you seem happy". Mysterious Windows 7 Autorun Location I have Acer Aspire One A521 with brand new SSD disk, on which I've just installed brand new Windows 7 HE 64. After installing system I installed all drivers, including Conexant audio driver. Starting from that moment, after each system restart I see Windows prompt asking me, if I really want to run application C:\Program Files\CONEXANT\cAudioFilterAgent\cAudioFilterAgent64.exe.  Situation like that is quite normal to me, and I always use some "startup scanner" to find such software and purge system out of it. I have very, very old Startup Control Panel 2.8 by Mike Lin. It can have even ten years, but it has never disappointed me, so I continue using it. It scans Startup folders for current user and common one, HKLM Run, HKCU Run and Run Once sections of Windows Registry. For past ten years I thought that these are all locations where application, that is being autorun during system startup can coexist. Turns out, I was wrong.  Since this is brand new Windows, just installed, its autorun locations are empty. The only entry I do have is ATI graphic card driver manager startup string in HKLM Run. I have checked that fact ten times (but only with above mentioned program and manually) and I'm 100% sure, that in none of known to me autorun locations there are no traces of Conexant program startup string.  What do I miss? Does Windows 7 introduces some new startup location or a new method of autorunning programs, that is beyond, what I know and what Startup Control Panel scans?  Solving this problem is a snap for me. I can use brute-force method of removing manually that file or renaming it or I can uninstall Conexant audio driver at all (for the very, very limited use of audio in my laptop, that I have, Windows driver will for sure be enough, I've installed Conexant one "just in case"). But I'm really, really curious, how Windows is possible to run this program each time I restart it? Where autorun string for it can exists?
