Hilarious! I love the unfiltered honesty of many of the participants on here. Some of the things our brains come up with are a riot. None of us are immune.
and put the cursor in the box..That often happens to me. Halfway the quiz using the scroll bar, then typing several answers, look up and see the box still empty. Multiple times on a quiz, often.
Well, as a native Virginian I can tell you it used to be spelled "Potomack" and "Potowmack" on old colonial-era maps. The Indians who named it didn't really have much of a writing system, so the English spelled it different ways at different times, based on what the word sounded like to them.
Prosecutor represents the state and in trials with a prosecutor there's no defendant. Plaintiff is the person in a civil case who is sueing the defendant. So no.
WHAT DO YOU mean that in trials with a prosecutor, there is no defendant? Who, then, is the prosecutor prosecuting? I believe you mean that in a trial where there is a prosecutor, the plaintiff is the State, not an individual.
Yeah, I think you mean there's no plaintiff. Civil and criminal cases both have defendants. In civil cases they're being sued by a plaintiff; in criminal cases they're being tried by the prosecution.
It's very interesting - e.g. apparently Charles Darwin could never explain how flowering plants came about by evolution, and was always troubled by it. We still don't know for sure (as far as I know, I'm not a paleobotanist :) since they seem to have come about suddenly and spread everywhere very quickly, which are not characteristics of evolution. Article about it recently on the BBC website:
