Bookmark or Share- What's the correct way of saying that one is pursuing a degree?Agree with @Mick re "study for a degree" rather than "study a degree". The latter doesn't make sense in any English I've ever heard.
- grammaticality - "Whether or not" vs. "whether" - English Language ...It's worth pointing out that, etymologically speaking, the roots of whether are which/either of two.It's inherently a "binary choice" word, so whereas "I don't know whether it be fish or fowl" is fine, "I don't know whether it be fish or fowl or good red herring" isn't really grammatical.
- meaning - "Plan to do" vs. "plan on doing" - English Language & Usage ...The sentences are quite similar. They convey similar meanings. Without being overly technical (not that I'm capable of it), I suggest sentence number one sounds more definite than sentence two.
- Something can be estimated therefore it is "estimatable"?In case it helps, this is based on the INVEST user stories in Agile 1. The E stands for Estimatable aka "should be be possible to estimate". I am, of course, happy for such a word not to exist. If so, how would you phrase it so that it still makes sense in the above context?
- prepositions - When should I use "in" or "on"? - English Language ...I have a story about the "on the bus". I read somewhere (or someone explained to me) that back in the day buses were open, so that one wasn't inside the bus per se, but rather on the top of the bus.
