English Thread

In this thread, we attempt to learn to read, write, and speak English, a language which would be very useful to know. It is widely spoken throughout the world.

Do you speak English? Are you fluent? What resources did you use to learn? Can you give some examples in this thread? Posts some useful links.

Let's help each other out and learn a new language.

Cost effective is the saying.
Just to add to what >>202 said,
Effective simply means the ability to do something. Effective does not imply anything about how money, time, our any other resource is used. This is where efficient confess in. Efficient is when something is done while using resources to the best of their abilities, no waste or as little waste as possible. Usually when something is termed efficient they are implying that it is effective also, but tools/processes can be efficient but not effective. For example, a person may be very efficient at washing windows and they can wash all of the windows on a building the best and the fastest, but if their job is doing taxes, they are not very effective.

I don't understand your question. If someone asks you if you have any siblings, and you have a sister, you would reply: "yes, I have a sister"
