So many people have bailed.......Come on people!!!........Patience is a virtue.
Good things come to those who wait.
Naa, a trait that is valued as being good is a virtue :P
Patience is enduring a difficult circumstance :P
Patience is enduring a difficult circumstance :P
The idea of patience being a virtue is from a religious perspective :)
Why patience a virtue?
Patience is a virtue because it makes us better people. The definition of the word is to tolerate delay. This implies self control and forebadance of what we want when we want it. How many times have we jumped the gun and found out it would have been better to tolerate delay or had self control? What did we miss out on? Did we hurt someone because of lack of pacience? Did our lives just change completely just because we couldn't control ourself? Patience is not only a virtue but a necessity for a happy exisitience.

I'd readily recommend this for anyone who's in contact with higher education in English. These words are more or less essential to the academic sphere.
A method I use for learning new words, and especially their spelling, is to carefully study their etymology; that is, the "origin and history" of the word. For example, the earlier mentioned 'anachronism' is a derivative of greek 'ana', meaning 'backwards' and 'khronos', meaning 'time'. It also enables interpretation of other words, such as 'synchronous' from greek 'sun-' (together) and 'khronos' (again: 'time').
The Concise Oxford English Dictionary (a version of which I have on my mobile phone) offers such etymological explanations.

Anachronistic is not a troublesome word in English, it's a completely unused word. Ambivalent and idiosyncrasy are used quite often.
I think most people here would be interested in downloading the audio book, "Learning to Spell Correctly for Stupid Fuckers". After you listen to that, you should get "Learning the Difference Between 'your' and 'you're' for Complete Assholes".

I love the way you are attempting to 'puzzle' together clauses in your first paragraph; and the unused/used repetition is ingenious - a pure work of art...
Let me suggest 'Less spelling, more writing' for you.

I'd imagine you are the kind of guy that everyone detests and furthermore has many enemy's.
I posted this torrent to help people that struggle with a poor vocab. I posted this in the spirit of helping others, so just be great full I took the time. It's assholes like you that discourage others from even wanting to attempt increasing their knowledge. Can I get an amen on that anyone.
