• Speaking of CB's shopping question...

  I happy Hobonichi releases their next year's lineup 4 months in advance. At first, I didn't get it, but now I understand! Hobonichi is pricey, and one needs to plan in advance on what to purchase but more importantly, what they need/see themselves actually using consistently throughout the year. So many unboxings on YouTube tells me, this is a great yearly splurge for most ppl in the planner world. I agree... Source: 7 months ago

  Yeah, definately provide a definition from vocabulary.com. funny, their primary definition of cult is "a system of religious beliefs and rituals", but you didn't want to use that one when you could jump to something a little more scandalous. Very well, a strange choice, but we'll ignore that and move on. Source: over 1 year ago

• Advice on how to study during hols

  For H1 GP, I don't quite know haha. I personally don't think you need to spend that much time on GP, but it really depends on how much you understand the syllabus right now. Like if you are clear on question types in essays and SAQs (for eg is vs should & can & will, time comparison questions, or like SAQ literal, language qns), as well as how to answer them, then you should be fine. You can do a bit of vocab... Source: over 1 year ago

• (Doubt) Sanction means punishment. It also means permission. How to know why is it used in a particular sentence?

  No argument there--it certainly does. However, both examples from vocabulary.com have a made-up quality; they don't adhere to the unspoken rules that news organizations, for example, would adhere to in using these senses only in certain contexts which make the sense unambiguous--the government only sanctions in punishment and the Supreme Court never sanctions at all.

• Teachers: would a web app like this be useful to you? (feedback request, not promotion!)

  There is "NoRedInk" for ELA teachers and this sounds very similar to that and there are others for the other subjects I just do not know their names. You should look into "NoRedInk" though because it sounds very similar. There is also Read 180 and vocabulary.com so you would have to offer something these services do not in order to stand out.
