Use Any One Of The Following Words In A Sentence?
This is not a homework assignment that I'm trying to cheat on; I just found a list of words that are not commonly used, so I want to see if anyone can or will use any of them in a sentence. Feel free to do multiple sentences, or to use any number of the words in a sentence, but please do it in a way to show that you know what the word means, if you can!
-- euphonious (adjetcive)
-- evanescent (adjetcive)
-- expository (adjetcive)
-- extant (adjetcive)
-- germane (adjetcive)
-- hackneyed (adjetcive)
-- ignominy (noun)
-- erudite (noun)
-- martinet (noun)
-- nuance (noun)
-- paradigm (noun)
-- parochial (adjetcive)
-- repudiate (verb)
-- supercilious (adjetcive)
-- whimsical (adjetcive)
These aren't all of the words; just the ones I found most interesting. I can put more if you want more, though...
Answer:In the midst of the mediocre performance one man's euphonious voice stood out.
She sat on the porch swing and watched the evanescent glow of the fireflies.
The classs was given an expository writing assignment.
There is only one extant document of the original Declaration of Independence.
Please keep all questions germane to the issue at hand.
Many of these terms in your list are hackneyed words.
Lee Harvey Oswald suffered the ignominy of being sent to jail after murdering the president.
The erudite professor became a favorite of the entire classs by answering trivia questions with ease.
The officer was a martinet, even the smallest mistake would have severe consequences to his men.

The woman's boss bore a supercilious expression that made her not want to approach her.
The boys whimsical behavior often got him sent to time-out.
performing Multiple If Then Statements With A Nice Interface?
So I have a huge dataset (excel is out of the question). I need to take out some of the observations that meet a certain criteria and provide simple stats on them (like the sum or mean of a varible). Then on the remaining observations look at who meets a different criteria and then provide simple stats on them. etc etc. Now here is the difficult part: it has to have an easy interface. I mean I set this thing up and othere people can choose the criteria and get the list of stats. For instance I have a data set with people. The user picks left handed people then women. So he gets the total income of left handed people then the total income of right handed women and then he gets the total income of whomever is left over. In othere words no doubtle counting. Thanks in advance
Answer:Use Microsoft Access. It is a realtional database that supports aggregate statistical operations. It also has a nice way of letting you build a user interface. It also integreates well with othere Microsoft products.
Alternatively, use Postgres or MySQL. For largee datasets, you need the power of a realtional database to allow you to do 'drill downs' on your data.

By the way, if this is difficult for you, theree is a good (VERY SHORT) guide by Strunk & White, it is essential to writers, and it would've given you the intuitive ability to answer these without having to listen in your classs, or ask someone here. Pick it up in a local bookstore, any major bookseller will know what you are talking about when you mention Strunk & White. I read it like 8 years ago and it still comes in handy!
