Story for children without a happy ending I wouldn't exactly call The Giving Tree a "happy ending," and that's sold loads of copies. |

What's the appropriate way to write numbers in educational contexts like papers? Gigili, her point is that it varies from one place to the next. There isn't a standard rule that covers all contexts. |

Preventing the symbolic conflict of “Hunger Games” from overshadowing widespread social plight Reading back through my answer, I think it would be more useful if I made some generalizations that weren't so specific to this series. I ought to speak of literary techniques in general, not just details that only apply to this story. But similar to this being a case-study test question, this is a case-study test answer: to be improved in future iterations. |

Trying to indicate that the frequency is annoying @jon_darkstar The last rephrasing is good. The first 3 are quite purple, I agree. The first one: [initially seemed-->started off],[127th-->hundredth],[took a nasty turn towards annoying(do you hear how weird that sounds?)-->took a nasty turn for the worse]. The middle two cannot be saved, they're simply too overwrought and elaborate for something that should be expressed in 10-15 words or even less. Metaphors are meant to simplify, not complicate. |

Trying to indicate that the frequency is annoying I'm sorry, I actually find your rephrasing too blunt and a little awkward. I know I've shown up on the scene a bit late, but (depending on the point-of-view and style) I would suggest "It is infuriating how often I am asked this question," or "It is not the question which bothers him, but rather the frequency with which he hears it," or even "Though being of an innocent nature, the question is asked with intolerable frequency." |
