In this case, the answer is the third word in the phrase "the English language", i.e. "language"! The part about "angry and hungry" turns out to be a red herring. (from COPYEDITING-L list and the rec.puzzles Usenet newsgroup's FAQ) People who don't know the trick to this puzzle, by changing the wording when they pass the question along, have mangled the question until there is no real answer! \n\nThere is no answer. \nThe puzzle is WRONG. "It's a fraud, it's a fake," says Will Shortz, who is the puzzle editor of the New York Times and the host of a puzzle segment on National Public Radio's Weekend Edition (NPR, 11/10/96). The actual truth is that \nNO other common English word ends in -gry! It's a trick question -- and the trick, at least in some versions, has been lost. Word-puzzle fans and reference librarians have been trying for years to track the question's history to find the original answer. But to do that we need to know what the original question was. And there are several different versions in circulation purporting to be the original.

The problem is not necessarily in the wording, but in the conjunctions you chose to use. For example, you said "man OR woman, black Or white, gay OR straight, AND young OR old..."\nAlso you used the word ALL, meaning everyone that you mentioned. The word all doesn't necessarily work when you use or. Or is used to present an option or choice with exclusion, whereas all and and are used inclusively. \nTry this:  "This would mean that man and woman, blacks and whites, homosexuals and heterosexuals, and the young and elderly would be treated the same, regardless." \n\nI sure hope this helps you out.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.\n\nGry is also an obsolete unit of measurement, equal to 1/10 of a line, which is in turn 1/12 of an inch. Hence, a gry is 1/120 inch or about 0.212 mm. \nThe -Gry Puzzle is a popular puzzle that asks for the third English word, other than "angry" and "hungry," that ends with the letters "gry." Aside from words derived from "angry" and "hungry," there is no stand-alone word ending in "gry" that is in current usage. Both Webster's Third New International Dictionary of the English Language, Unabridged (Merriam-Webster, Inc., 2002, ISBN 0877792011) and the Oxford English Dictionary, Second Edition (Oxford University Press, 1989, ISBN 0198611862) contain the phrase "aggry bead." To find a third word ending in "gry" that is not part of a phrase, you must turn to obsolete words or personal or place names. A list of 130 of these is given at the end of this article.\n\nSo, basically, this puzzle has no good answer. Yet it has become the most frequently asked word puzzle. It is so common that it is a standing joke [1] on the Stumpers reference librarian list server [2] that it's time to change your car's oil when it is asked anew. The regular readers of the Usenet newsgroup rec.puzzles [3] coined the word "nugry" [4] to describe a (presumably) new reader who posts a frequently asked question.

So we know when to use the number '2' and the word 'to'.\nThey are different, and have different meanings. If someone read your question as you wrote it, it would make no sense. So, go to school, and pay attention in English class.

This is a rather common question.\n\nIn contemporary English there are only two words which end in -gry. They are 'hungry' and 'angry'.\n\nThere is a popular, but misleading riddle that circulates around the internet that suggests that there is a third -gry word, but there isn't, not one that is in common use anyway. In archaic forms of English (Middle English and Olde English) there are other words that end with -gry, such as 'meagry', meaning 'meagre-looking', but this is obsolete and not a true answer to the puzzle.\n\nThe riddle states something usually along the lines of: \n"Think of words ending in -gry. Angry and hungry are two of them.There are only three words in the English language. What is the third?"\nThe riddle is not saying there are three words ending in -gry. It is saying that there are three words the English language, which means the answer is 'language'...the third word in the phrase 'the English language'. Tricky, isn't it? That seems to be the most appropriate answer that I accept, anyway. \n\nAnother theory is that 'agree' may be accepted because if the riddle is said aloud, it rhymes with 'hungry' and 'angry'...but I find this really dubious.\n\nBasically, there is no correct answer to this puzzle, and there are only two -gry words, not three!\n\nThe webpage below gives a whole bunch of other explanations. I hope all that helps clear this up for you. Good luck :)

"Are" is a conjugation of the verb "to be", which is used, among other things, to describe qualities or states of being.  You would say "Are you hungry?" because "hungry" is an adjective. \n\n"Do" is an auxiliary verb that is used in questions along with another verb: for example, "Do you sing?" is a good question.  It is equivalent to "Is it true that you sing?" \n\nMore examples:\n\nAre you okay? ("okay" is an adjective)\nYes, I am okay.\n\nDo you smoke? ("smoke" is a verb here)\nYes, I smoke.\n\nAre you running?\nNo, I am not running.\n("running" is a participle, which is an adjective formed from a verb)\n\nDo you run? ("run" is a verb here)\nNo, I do not run.\n("do not" + verb infinitive is how to answer "no".)\n\nDoes he love cake?\nYes, he loves cake.\n(you conjugate "to do" and you leave the verb like "love" in the infinitive.)\n\nDoes she hate you?\nNo, she does not hate me.\n\nAre you thirsty?
