Prepositions suck. There's too many of them, different ones are used in sentences with only very slightly different meanings, and it's really hard to clearly explain why one should use one preposition in a sentence over another.

Take that back. They're the best part of speech!

They have similar questions on the English tests here, too. I thought they might be way too hard, too, but I guess the students really study how to do those questions. The HS textbook also has stuff on things like the Civil Rights Movement and Martin Luther King, Jr. My guess is that the students spend a lot of time just sitting and translating the text for homework.

I just bought a $325 coat on sale for $25. The store wasn't going out of business or anything, they just had some coats on sale for dirt cheap. I don't have any clue why; maybe it's a Chinese knockoff, but then I bought it at an actual store, not some street vendor in Namdaemun.

$300 off is too freakishly good....

Was looking for a bottle of wine in my cupboard (no wine left. ) and found an unknown bottle of Bailey's!

Is that beer?

Yes.

A cream ale?

You will know why when the spider eggs hatch.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Wars

Little Wars was written by H. G. Wells in 1913 and is a set of rules for playing with toy soldiers. Its full title is Little Wars: a game for boys from twelve years of age to one hundred and fifty and for that more intelligent sort of girl who likes boys' games and books.

I've heard of the game before but didn't know that awesome title.

Yep.
No Irn Bru though. Or in other 'worldwide things strangely absent' no KFC.
