Did dinner used to mean lunch?

Answer by Franklin Veaux:
Dinner is the largest meal of the day. It's a term that indicates the size of the meal, not the time of the meal.

In some places where I've lived, like Florida and Oregon, it is customary to have the largest meal in the evening, so we talk about having breakfast, lunch, and dinner. When I lived in Nebraska, it was customary to have the largest meal at midday, so we would talk about breakfast, dinner, and supper.

The Different "Wards" of Directions

This article first appeared in Domain of Experts , a website where selected academic experts write. Introduction One of my students recently asked me if there is a difference between "backward" and "backwards". "Is it another of those American English versus British English thing?" he wondered aloud. I smiled. My students have become very used to my explaining how my American friends use different terms or spell certain words differently, compared to we Singaporeans (who use British English). In fact, it is not just "backward" and "backwards" that many students got in a bind over, but all the various "wards" in English. Forward vs Forwards Forward can be used as an adverb or an adjective, and is used to describe a direction of motion, to the front, or describe a position. Forwards, on the other hand, can only be used as an adverb, and is used interchangeably with "forward" The squad commander took a forward position ...

Complacence vs Complacency

When does one use complacence, and when does one use complacency? Both of them are nouns, so obviously they have different meanings and usage. Complacence  is a calm satisfaction with oneself. A monk is likely to be someone with a sense of complacence, at peace with oneself and with his lot in life. Complacency is a whole lot more dangerous - complacency means a self-satisfaction  but   coupled with a lack of awareness of what is happening around it. It is normally used to describe a person or nation which has become so self-absorbed and satisfied that it does not see looming danger until it is too late. A champion swimmer who has a sense of complacency is unlikely to put in the effort to train, until his young upstart takes the medal from him. So there you are, some tips from your friendly neighbourhood English teacher.

Is it fair to ask a 12 year old "How heavy are eight $1 Singapore coins? Six grams, 60g, 600g or 6kg?" for a maths question?

The PSLE question that has parents crying foul - what is the weight of 8 $1 coins? 1) 6g 2) 60g 3) 600g 4) 6000g. "This is not a Math question!" Yes it is. Math is more than just arithmetics and pushing numbers around. Our Mathematical syllabus includes Estimation and Tessellation (both taught at Primary 5), as well as patterns and Geometry (taught since Primary 1). "How many children have an idea how much a coin weigh? This is unfair!" It is not. Children should have already gone through an activity at either Primary 2 or 3 on Weight, where they have to weigh coins and other objects and got to understand what the various weight is like. Ultimately, the PSLE is an exam meant to stream out the scholars from the farmers. The ability to answer certain questions would stream out those meant to be at the top. We seriously need to let our children know that it is not the end of the world if their PSLE score is not the most fantastic in the world, and to teach them resilie...
