Canadian English is the type of English that is used by Canadians. It is like American English in terms of vocabulary, but its grammar is like that of British English. Canadian English is generally taught in schools using British ways of spelling, such as colour, flavour, and so on. However, the word themselves are usually American, in part because Canadians watch a lot of American TV shows and listen to a lot of American pop music. Rarely, the British form of words may be replaced with American forms, such as plow, program, and so on. The main exception to this rule is terms related to cars and the auto industry. Because Canada's auto industry has always been dominated by American firms, Canadians use American words and spelling for such terms. Canadians and Americans spell the outer rubber portion of a wheel as "tire" instead of "tyre", put "gasoline" or "gas" in their vehicles instead of "petrol", store items in the "trunk" instead of the "boot", and may drive a "truck" instead of a "lorry". Canadian English is different from other forms of English in its spoken form also. The dialects vary from sounding overtly English to an indistinguishable form very similar to those spoken in the northern states. Variations in Canadian English. Academic work has identified distinct differences in the Canadian English spoken based on the characteristics of the speaker, including their age, region, and gender. Age. Extensive research conducted by Canadian linguist Sali Tagliamonte on the differences in Canadian English features used by younger and older generations of speakers has found substantial evidence of intergenerational lexical replacement. Significant differences have been found in variant preferences among Canadian adolescents, adults, and elderly speakers. This change is speculated to have been influenced by the cultural impacts of widely accessible American literature and mass media.  Region. Charles Boberg's 2005 North American Regional Variety Survey found that English-speaking Canada encompasses six principal lexical regions: Western Canada, Ontario, Montreal, New Brunswick - Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland, each separated by a lexical boundary. Lexical boundary distinction is measured on the basis of “major isoglosses,” which occur when there

In geometry, a simplex (plural: "simplices" or "simplexes"), sometimes called "n-simplex" is the "n"-dimensional analogue figure of the triangle. A triangle is a 2-simplex. The 0-simplex is the point, the 1-simplex is the line segment (line connecting two points). The 3-simplex is the tetrahedron, and the 4-simplex is the pentachoron. A regular simplex is a simplex that is also a regular polytope. A regular "n"-simplex may be made from a regular ("n" - 1)-simplex by connecting a new vertex to all the other vertices. All the vertices have the same length.

A Travelcard is a ticket used for most transport in London, including buses and the underground. The ticket is issued by Transport for London and National Rail and can be used on the services of either. History. Before Travelcards were used, travellers in Greater London had to pay every time they changed between London Transport's bus and Underground services. This was a problem as it led to delays while purchasing the next ticket. One ticket for all transport in London was one of the key promises made in 1981 by the newly-elected Labour Greater London Council, headed by council leader Ken Livingstone. The policy, with the slogan "Just The Ticket", meant that only one ticket was needed for London Transport bus and Underground services. They also reduced the price of transport. The price cut was then ruled illegal, but the one pricing scheme was mostly a success and was extended during the 1980s and 1990s as new transport routes were opened in London. By 1985, there were two travelcards: the Travelcard itself, which covered only London Buses and the Underground, and the Capitalcard, which covered most bus, Underground and local British Rail (BR) services. The Travelcard replaced the original Capitalcard, while including its greater availability, around 1989. The original "zonal" system was mainly in Greater London. The zone areas used both letters and numbers for the outermost zones such that bus availability ignored the letter while BR and Underground availability depended also upon the letter(s) - e.g. a Travelcard or Capitalcard valid in zone 3a (but not 3b or 3c) was valid on buses in zones 3a, 3b and 3c but only in zone 3a when used on the railway services. Transport modes. A Travelcard entitles the holder to use the following modes of transport within Greater London: Travelcards also entitle the holder to a 33% discount on some London River Services.
A top-level domain, or TLD, are the letters that follow the final dot of the domain names. There are several kinds of TLDs:

It originated for the lower Snake River drainage basin where the USACE (United States Army Corps of Engineers) researched it in 1953.

And the government choice for the final site for Dworshak Dam was at a point on the North Fork of the Clearwater 1.9 miles (3.1 km). It was built beginning in the year 1966. It was finished in 1972. The energy it gives totals 400 megawatts. Dworshak Dam is the 22nd tallest in the world. It is the 3rd tallest in the United States. Specifications. Dworshak Dam is a concrete dam.

The top of the dam is 44 feet (13 m) wide at an elevation of 1,613 feet (492 m) above sea level. The main body of the structure can accommodate about 6,500,000 cubic yards (5,000,000 m3) water. Tourism and economy. Some people consider that one of the major benefits for building the Dworshak Dam was that it would provide recreation and improve the local economy.

Leisure activities include boating, water-skiing, camping, fishing, hiking and hunting. References. i
