| 51 | Americans say both I could & I couldn't care less. I think "I could care less" does make a certain amount of sense. If you couldn't care less, then why not say you don't care? I could care less sort of implies that within the bounds of infinite possibilities it is *possible* to care less about something, but just barely. Of course, perhaps I've put too much thought into this...  | What are the words, phrases, and spellings that you know differ from American English and British English? |
| 52 | My guess is Super Piss... | Which of these is not a real brand name? |
| 53 | If you didn't know that there was a dictionary, you have never added a word, so that would be no. | Have you ever added a word to the Survey Central dictionary? |
| 54 | Whenever I type comments, if I have misspelled words or sometimes unusual or made up words I get a screen that says "There seem to be misspelled words in your comment, click the "lookup in Dictionary" links to look them up in the dictionary." There are two links. One links to Merriam-Webster to look up the word. The other link says "add to dictionary." Do you never spell anything wrong or have typos or for some reason does this screen not come up for you? | Have you ever added a word to the Survey Central dictionary? |
| 55 | I think it would be a VW Cabrio. VWs are reliable and efficient and I would like a convertible. I would want green, with beige upholstery. I need remote door locks, because I am reliant on them. Plus they make me feel safer. I'd also like a CD player. That pretty much sums up all my car dreams & desires. I think I will be able to satisfy them in a couple of years on my own. | If you could get any car you want for free, which car would you pick? |
| 56 | I definitely think schools should provide nutritional education. Schools already require students to take physical education and health classes, so they accept that they have some responsibility for teaching students about their health. Vending machines aside, who has eaten in the cafeteria of an American public school lately? I ate lunch in two public elementary schools for 6 weeks last year. Well, I ate some of the lunch. I am vegetarian so I generally couldn't eat the main dish. Even if I weren't vegetarian I would have been reluctant to eat them. They posted nutritional info about all the food, (like the little kids cared) and 90% of the time the main dish had well over 30% of the calories from fat. Some of them would be up to 50% fat. This was shocking. It is no wonder so many American children are obese when school lunch is one of the main things they eat. No more than 30% of a person's daily calories should be from fat. The people who designed these meals probably would argue that with the side dishes added in, the meals would have about 30% calories from fat. I ate lunch with these kids, though. The vegetables were not good, and the kids didn't eat them. A lot of them didn't eat their fruit either, and they would buy additional fattening things like chips and cookies to go with their food. I was pretty horrified, especially since I was there to teach gym class specifically due to the high rate of obesity for children in that city. If we expect children to develop good nutritional habits, we need to feed them good, healthy food.If we want them to eat this food it has to taste good. Overcooked, disintegrating broccoli will not do the trick. Dried out carrot sticks and ranch will not do it. These kids need to know that food that is good for you can taste good. Providing them with unpalatable food will send them to the vending machines every time. OK, rant over. That one struck a nerve. | Do you think schools have a responsibility to provide a nutritional education as well as an intellectual education? |
| 57 | At the American schools I was working in, we weighed all of the students (it was the start of the school year) and they were weighed again at end of the year. The students took a bunch of tests (stamina, strength, flexibility & whatnot) and reports were made on how they did and were sent home to their parents with recommendations on where they could use improvement. (including weight) This was a new program in this district. I hope that it is doing well, but I think they need to address nutrition as well as physical activity. | Do you think schools have a responsibility to provide a nutritional education as well as an intellectual education? |
| 58 | No, I'm not a teacher. Last year I was in a program called AmeriCorps*NCCC which is for people ages 18-24. You sign up for 10 months and travel around the country in teams doing different service projects, usually spending 6 weeks in each location. One of our projects was to go into these schools and start them on a new fitness program. | Do you think schools have a responsibility to provide a nutritional education as well as an intellectual education? |
| 59 | I think my own opinion matters the most, but I also value the opinions of my family and friends on many subjects. | Whose opinion of you matters the most? |
| 60 | I find them annoying, but I just close them and ignore them as much as I can. | How do you react to pop-up website advertisements? |
