			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since I&#8217;m italian I can&#8217;t understand the difference between the word &quot;pun&quot; and the words &quot;wordgame &quot; and &quot;wordplay&quot;.<br />
Are they exactly the same? or are they used in different contexts?</p>
<p>p.S: Could you check what I wrote?<br />
I&#8217;m not sure my english is correct!<br />
<br />All three are similar, but the context in which each is used differs:   </p>
<p>A pun is a play on words for humourous effect. A joke, (and often a very bad one!) in other words. </p>
<p>Wordplay is rather more deliberate and clever than punning. It is very close to punning, but is regarded as witty and clever and often not said for comic effect.  </p>
<p>A wordgame is a game, rather than a figure of speech. The term was coined by Wittgenstein to describe a to a range of disparate human activities that bear to one another only what one might call family resemblances.  </p>
<p>The nuances are slight but I hope this helps to clarify your  understanding.  I&#8217;ve added a couple of references that might help.  </p>
<p>By the way, punning is not just limited to English.  I know of several puns in German and French as well!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m working on this code below:</p>
<p>import java.util.Scanner;</p>
<p>public class WordGame<br />
{</p>
<p>   public static void main( String[] args )<br />
   {</p>
<p>    Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in );<br />
    String name;<br />
    int age;<br />
    String city;<br />
    String college;<br />
    String job;<br />
    String animal;<br />
    String petName;</p>
<p>    System.out.print(&quot;Enter your name: &quot;);<br />
    name = input.nextLine();</p>
<p>    System.out.print(&quot;Enter your age: &quot;);<br />
    age = input.nextInt();</p>
<p>    System.out.print(&quot;Enter your city: &quot;);<br />
    city = input.nextLine();</p>
<p>    System.out.print(&quot;Enter a college name: &quot;);<br />
    college = input.nextLine();</p>
<p>    System.out.print(&quot;Enter a profession: &quot;);<br />
    job = input.nextLine();</p>
<p>    System.out.print(&quot;Enter a type of animal: &quot;);<br />
    animal = input.nextLine();</p>
<p>    System.out.print(&quot;Enter a pet name: &quot;);<br />
    petName = input.nextLine();</p>
<p>  }<br />
}</p>
<p>When I run it in the command prompt for some reason Enter Your City and Enter a college name show up at the same time and it only allows the user to enter the college name. Every other prompt shows up one at a time like it should. I&#8217;m just wondering what is causing Enter your city: and Enter a college name: to come up at the same time?<br />
<br />may be because of the nextInt() you are using. Does it take the input from console on the next line?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;d like a reply from a Windows Vista user.<br />
<br />The specs only state that it works with Windows 98 / 2000 / XP, but most software that runs on those platforms will run under Vista without a problem. At worst, Vista can run them in compatibility mode. Some games that are very graphics intensive do tend to have trouble in Vista, most everything else will work fine.</p>
<p>But if you want a definitive answer, you can contact the game manufacturer before you buy. They haven&#8217;t released any patches to make it compatible which suggests it runs fine. Here&#8217;s the contact address and email:</p>
<p>MumboJumbo<br />
2019 North Lamar St, Ste 300<br />
Dallas, TX 75202-1738<br />
support@mumbojumbo.com</p>
<p>I hope this helps!!</p>

<br />Redneck isn&#8217;t a racial slur&#8230;there are black rednecks too&#8230;</p>
<p>Redneck is a regional slur.</p>

can a white person sue for a racial slur made and be taken seriously?&#8230;<br />
<br />My, my. So we&#8217;re not sensitive enough &#8211; yet?<br />
It&#8217;s a term referring to a certain type of knuckle-dragging Caucasian, while the N word referrs to ALL Negroes.<br />
Oops! Am I not supposed to use the term, &#8216;Negro&#8217; either?<br />
