36,800 | 27,055 | 76823_0 | It would seem obvious to me that Australian English is closer to British English due to the historical events that led to English people living here. But it seems when differences occur that US English aligns more. Is this due to content from the US vs. Great Britain? |
36,801 | 27,057 | 76823_0 | I was talking to one of my co-workers today. We have two homosexual persons in our office. I forgot one's name, so I asked my co-worker, "What's his name?"

36,804 | 51,786 | 76823_0 | If my memory serves me correctly, I first encountered the word _embiggen_ a year or so ago. I thought it seemed odd, but in context, the meaning was quite obvious.

36,805 | 195,102 | 76823_0 | We know about chronologically to describe order by time, but is there a word to describe duration? I want to say something like "school is x-ically taxing", as in, school is heavily taxing on an individual's available time. |
36,806 | 59,230 | 76823_0 | I'm preparing for an exam by answering some questions in an assignment, however, I am writing the answers in the same document as the questions.

36,812 | 50,781 | 76823_0 | People in America ask "how are you" a lot. Many people would reply with "I'm good." If I am feeling OK, I would say "I'm well." Which version is right? |

36,828 | 111,438 | 76823_0 | As I understand it, _he_ and _him_ are etymologically, and for purposes of grammar, different cases of the same word. If it's the same word, wouldn't it be sufficient to use _himself_ alone—with maybe the redundancy reserved for emphasis? |
