I have next question. Is any difference between ''hope'' and ''faith''?

"Faith" means the trust in (or towards?) someone, "hope" means believing that something what you like will happen.

Okay guys, I must remind you that the word but is used a preposition or a conjunction:
Preposition example: Everyone but The Dark Lord has switched from Krom's editor to the Remake editor.
Conjunction example: I like The Dark Lord's maps, but they are way too campy.
Now, the word butt is the part of your body that you sit on. It's yer tush!
Also, make sure you format dates in mm-dd-yyyy. That's very important. No buts!

actually you did, americans are more people then 1. 1 person = is, mutliple persons = are. at least in your sentence, so it has to be: Everyone but Americans are right. butt at least your sentence did not talk about buts trololo. (no worries ben, we love your english lessons).

I'm not native-english-speaker, but I'd say ChrisEggII got it right. "is right" it that sentence is referring to "everyone", not to "Americans". Everyone is right sounds to me more natural than everyone are right. Please correct me if I'm wrong.actually you did, americans are more people then 1. 1 person = is, mutliple persons = are. at least in your sentence, so it has to be: Everyone but Americans are right. butt at least your sentence did not talk about buts trololo. (no worries ben, we love your english lessons).
Next lesson, the difference between "then" and "than"?
By the way, are translation jokes allowed here?
One classical example of such a joke (in Italy, at least) is when an english teacher asks his/her class to translate the italian sentence "tre streghe stanno guardando tre orologi: quale strega guarda quale orologio?" into English.
Solution: Three witches are watching three watches: which witch's watching which watch?

Also, "I'm right but I cannot explain how" isn't much of an argument...

i wasn't trying to make an argument. the way i always passed language tests both in dutch and english were on intuition. i seem to be right 90% of the time and i can almost never explain why. i'll just wait for ben to school all of us again, i am sure he'll do it whenever he's not lazy
