Why is T where it is? WHY?

Frequently used pairs of letters were separated in an attempt to stop the typebars from intertwining and becoming stuck, thus forcing the typist to manually unstick the typebars and also frequently blotting the document. The home row (ASDFGHJKL) of the QWERTY layout is thought to be a remnant of the old alphabetical layout that QWERTY replaced. QWERTY also attempted to alternate keys between hands, allowing one hand to move into position while the other hand strikes home a key. This sped up both the original double-handed hunt-and-peck technique and the later touch typing technique; however, single-handed words such as stewardesses and monopoly show flaws in the alternation.\n\nQWERTY (pronounced /ˈkwɝti/) is the most common modern-day keyboard layout on most English language computer and typewriter keyboards. It takes its name from the first six letters seen in the keyboard's top row of letters. The QWERTY design was patented by Christopher Sholes in 1868 and sold to Remington in 1873, when it first appeared in typewriters.\n\nIt has often been noted that the word typewriter can be typed entirely using the top row of the QWERTY keyboard: it has been speculated that this may have been a factor in the choice of keys for ease of demonstration, although it is unlikely that engineers would create the key setup around a sales gimmick.

Perhaps one easy way to help you distinguish and remember: look at the word their or there without the T.  There - T = here (a location)  Their-t = heir (a person).   \n\nThere always refers to a place.  Their always refers to a person or persons.

The 2nd sentence is correct and very formal; there is something like an old subjunctive form hidden in it.\nThe 1st sentence is (informally) not incorrect and could be found in British English.

Why would you say "it's nice THERE" if you are there?  You'd say "it's nice HERE."\n\nThis is a bogus question.  Thanks for the 2 points.

Because the gods of grammar conjugation say so.\n\nIt is an irregular verb.  You just have to memorize it.

It's many years since I did maths but shouldn't there be an = somewhere? And isn't there normally "y" too? I thought it would be fun to stretch my brain for a change but...Am I being obtuse?

I've never seen this before, why don't you pose this question under languages, you might get a better response!

This has to be an adverbial prepositional phrase, because it tells where they went.  "The students went" is the backbone of the sentence: "students" is the subject, and "went" is the verb.  Where did they go?  On a skiing trip.  \n\nThere are a few good questions to ask when you see a prepositional phrase.  If you can answer "when" or "how" then you know it is adverbial, because adverbs are words of time and they tell how something was done.  If your phrase is more descriptive, and cannot answer "when" or "how" then it is an adjective.  \n\nHope this helps.  Cheers, K (teacher 14 years)

Yes, it's a common mistake that people make when they erroneously attribute the "t" in "conversation" to the verb form "converse" when in truth it's simply part of the suffix "ation" added to make the verb a noun.\n\nThe same thing happens with "orient" (verb), "oriented" (adjective) and "orientation" (noun). Unfortunately, it is now so common for people to add an extra "t" to the verb and adjective, that "orientate" and "orientated" are now considered acceptable. Disgusting, isn't it?
