- What is the correct plural form of "attorney"?
Hello! Is "attornies" or "attorneys" the right plural form of attorney?
Best answer
Attorneys. Change the 'y' to 'i' if a noun ends in 'y'. But this rule doesn't apply here. The reason is the letter preceding the final consonant is a vowel. So this rule apples only when another consonant precedes the final consonant. For example; Buddy ==> buddies

- How to answer the question "How have you been"?
When someone asks me, "How have you been," how should I answer?
Best answer
Hello! "How have you been?" is a greeting, similar to "How are you?" but instead of only asking how you are at present, it is used with people you have already met, people that you know, to ask how you have been doing since the last time they saw you. You could say "I've been well, thanks." and then share something you have done, somewhere you have been, something new you can share with the person. For example, I've been well, thanks. I started a new job. / I visited my family in Toronto. / I've been busy but I will have some time off next month. I hope this helps ( :
- Is the phrase "It sucks" rude?
Hello! What does the phrase "it sucks" mean actually? Maybe, I understand it not correctly. Is it rude to use this phrase?
Best answer
Hi Kimbley IT SUCKS means this/that thing or situation is really bad/disappointing or frustrating. It is fine to use it in general conversation, but not the best in formal settings such as with your boss, in an email or at a formal occasion. If sometning is REALLY bad feel free to say "Big time sucky, sucky" - others will have no doubt how you feel.
- What preposition does follow the word "proficient"?
Which of the prepositions is correct? Proficient at Proficient in Proficient with
Best answer
the preposition "at" comes after the word "proficient". You are "proficient at" something not "with or in" as these two prepositions usually indicate an active noun after it, like place, time, someone.
