1. it is just an expression, a language add to make it sound more cool. I know what im saying, the Romanian language also is complex and fed up with things like this. Maybe the idea of melodicity created all languages, because we were first cavernmans that spoken singing shouts.
2. please, you could hurt some people saying that. and yes, it's in the Religion and Philosophy section.
The cimema screen is huge allowing you to immerse yourself in it. However TV screens are much smaller allowing you to sit on them. THe question is very similar to the one that asks why people will say "oh it very hot, it's 92 degrees fahrenheit" but when it is cold they say "oh its very cold, its -3 degrees celsius". Strange mix matching of measures.
In the York Library the bible in under "Manners and Customs", Not sure what that means though I would say it is leaning towards fiction though I'm not sure, A very strange classification indeed.
Its not an insult, its just that the english language has glitches in it.
The English language does not have glitches, the people speaking it have glitches.
i agree with toadlord the english language is messed up its a hybrid of about every other language out there i dont know about the second questions
The English language is indeed a hybrid of other languages like Latin, Greek, German, Spanish but evolved for Old English which evolved from Germanic Languages. Correct me please if I am wrong.
Religion and Philosophy it is. I think the Bible is accepted by many people to be Non-fiction but the most dominant religion, Christianity, believes that the Bible is holy and not fictitious.
The English language does not have glitches, the people speaking it have glitches.
the people that speak the English language do have glitches and because of those glitches the English language becomes glitchy. for example when people start inventing new slangs eventually everyone uses it and it becomes part of the language. (im not sure if that makes sense, ahh it probably doesnt)
Why does it take more muscles to frown than to smile?
It take 13 muscles to smile and 12 to frown.
to quote Bill Hicks...
"People always walk up to me and say 'hey! takes more energy to frown than it does to smile' and I always say 'You know it takes more energy to tell me that than it does to leave me alone'"
Actually... (oh dear, this isn't going to be a popular answer!), the jury's still out on this one. It's a saying that has been around for so long and penetrated our culture to the extent that everyone assumes it's true without remembering specific details or sources. You will find many seemingly reputable sources swearing that it's true, but interestingly enough they report widely different figures for the number of muscles. Some of the more popular ones are 43 muscles in a frown vs. 17 muscles in a smile and 62 muscles in a frown vs. 26 muscles in a smile (nice symmetry... too nice if you ask me!). So we definitely know what majority opinion is on the subject, but they don't seem to have anything to back it up!
Things are further complicated by the fact that those crazy researchers who are actually puzzling over this can't agree on certain fundamental things: do they count muscles with a major involvement, do they count every teeny-tiny muscle that twitches even if it doesn't play a large role, do they count eye muscles because some people's eyes crinkle up a bit when they smile, etc., etc.? Frowning could involve more muscles, but smiling could still require more effort if those fewer muscles need to be flexed more. Do a random google search like I did; I swear you will find all of this and I am not making it up! Nobody knows for sure, but everybody has ideas.
A few facts that may or may not also be relevant to answering the question: studies show that people are more apt to smile when they see other people smiling and frown when they see other people frowning, some believe that smiling just seems easier because we do it more and the muscles are thus better conditioned for it, and the sort of smile that we label "insincere" requires significantly less muscular effort than a sincere and spontaneous grin.
All of that was founf here. hope that helps firetail.
