Another thing to remember is never trust what you think about your life after 9pm, especially if you haven't slept for a few days or ate, also stay hydrated

Indeed. I can vouch for this personally.

.... can I have a hug? (I feel very depressed rn because of life and I need some love)

“I’ll allow it! Though that’s more a job for Mr. Shadow!”

“I hope this helps you feel better... life can be stressful and get us down sometimes. But finding happiness in small moments can make things feel a bit brighter.”

well i just graduated college, so of course the first thing i do is hop back on here! so, question for mr. sonic: what's the difference between an english sonnet and an italian sonnet?

Ooooo! Congratulations on graduating!

To answer your question! The difference between English sonnets and Italian sonnets are their rhymes! Italian sonnets have an octave rhyming abba abba, and a sestet usually rhyming cdcdcd or cdecde. English sonnets on the other hand has a rhyme scheme abab cdcd efef gg.

hi! question for ms. Rose: Why do so many Ancient Egyptian words only have an "e" for vowels?

“Okay, this one’s a bit tricky, but from what I know there are actually no e’s in any recorded Heiroglyphics. Adding e’s between consonants simply made Egyptian words easier to pronounce.”

do you have any tips on concentrating on lessons? I find it hard to do and I really need to learn things so any help would be great :D

“Of course! Concentrating can be pretty hard, I have trouble with it myself. So here’s some tips to use to concentrate on things like lessons! If you find your mind wandering, try taking deep breaths and try to redirect yourself.”

“Oh! Getting a good amount of sleep is always a great way to make sure you can concentrate the next day!”

“Learning and practicing Brain Exercises that suit you and your mind is also a great way to improve your focus and other cognitive skills.”

“And of course, taking breaks when you can will always help your focus! Stop what your doing, eat something filling, drink water, and stretch your legs.”

“I hope these tips help! They may take a bit of getting used to, but if you stick to it, I know you can improve your concentration!”

Hey Mr. Tails! I had a question: why do some Element symbols not match the name of the actual element? Like Lead is Pb for some reason?

Excellent question! In many cases it's because the symbol is based on the Latin name for the element instead of the English name. For example, Sodium (Na) in Latin is Natrium and Potassium (K) in Latin is Kalium.

what level are they teaching?

i assume based around my own experience with education that theyre teaching middle-high schoolers, but are there advanced subjects, such as AP or college credit courses?

…..

other than that could sonic tell me how to easily avoid runon sentences?

“Our current curriculum is definitely more geared towards the middle-high schooler demographic. We are open to teaching lower levels or higher levels on occasion though.”

“As for your question on run on sentences! There are a few easy ways to avoid it. Finding a natural place or way to add a comma is the most common way, but not always the best way. Using semicolons, transitional words, or just ending the sentence at an earlier point can sometimes be better methods. It all depends on your run on sentence!”
