TASK DEFINITION: Generate the answer for a given question. The question requires common knowledge of English. Make sure that the answer is in detail, long, consistent with the context, and requires general knowledge of English. To be less repetitive, please vary your language for each question. Give a proper explanation to answer, and if necessary, provide the definition of various terms. And conclude your answer if it's long. If you have used other resources (e.g., Merriam Webster's.) to answer the question, include citations in your answer. You don't need to paraphrase the context of your resources, but make sure that your answer is consistent and complete.
PROBLEM: Possible Duplicate: 'Unregister' vs 'Deregister' I'm just wondering what the consensus would be on the antonym of register. The intended use of the word is for a website. Users can register for the site, and should they desire, they can also 'unregister'. Can you list a set of words that would fit the problem domain?.

SOLUTION: There are several words including 'cancel', 'eradicate', 'rescind', but I think the most relevant word is: Deregister Taken from here

PROBLEM: My programming peers suggest to use the term count with discrete things: count of words, count of sentences and so on. Then again my instructor suggest me to use the term 'number' for the discrete things in a thesis. I have used the word 'amount' but my instructor says that is only for continuous measures. Please, clarify the different usages. It may be that programming jargon misuses the words. How and when to use the words in official language? Examples about the usages with count, number and amount -- wrong or right? I have 7 liters of juice. This amount is too much to drink alone. I have 17 sparse polynomials. This count is irrelavant. (how my programming would say) I have 17 sparse polynomials. This number is irrelavant. (Used amount but guided to number).

SOLUTION: I believe that amount should only be used for uncountable things, like 'pudding' number and count should only be used for countable things, like 'baby aardvarks' quantity can be used for either, and all of the above are measures of 'quantity'

PROBLEM: Possible Duplicate: What is the difference between a phrase and a clause? Can you give me an easy description of the differences in meaning between clause, phrase, and sentence?.

SOLUTION:
Phrase, clause and sentence are three of the structural units that create meaning. A phrase is a word or words that don't have much meaning on their own. If I suddenly utter the phrase My brother, you'll wonder why I said it, but if I say My brother drives, you'll feel I've said something that has meaning. There's a completeness about it, because it contains the verb drives. That makes it a clause, but it is also a sentence. But I needn't stop there. I can go on to say something else, almost without drawing breath. I can say My brother drives, but he doesn't drive very well. I've added another clause, and together they, too, make a sentence, joined by the little word but. It is perhaps helpful to see two or more clauses joined together as a clause complex, although sentence in general use describes both single and multiple clauses.
