Please Make A Discussion For Macro Economics Class (not More Than 250 Please Make A Discussion For Macro Economics Class (not More Than 250 Words) – Assignment Example Recession Fears Recede as Economy Grows 2.5%† Even though the U.S. economy has picked up recently, the level of growth is not enough to make inroads into the incredibly high national unemployment rate of 9.1%. One thing pointing to this is the fact that more and more Americans are spending rather than saving. This will inevitably prolong the current high unemployment rate because jobs need to be created to provide for the unemployed. Business spending has increased, although this may only be a short term measure. Many business owners are expected the economy to slip back into a recession some time during the next 12 months and are thus taking advantage of the relatively stable economy at present. Earlier this year, the U.S. economy did not sustain growth of close to 3%, and the current trend may not solve the problem in the long term. Consumer spending is up from earlier this year, as is fixed investment by business. This all sounds good, but when it is compared to less saving by Americans, it does not make pretty reading. The current trend may only be considered a blip rather than a significant upward turn. The fundamentals of the economy do not show signs of any long term growth, and this fact leaves both businesses and consumers scared as we head into 2012.

An Came First

An Came First An Came First An Came First By Maeve Maddox A reader writes: I propose that an was invented to prevent us from having to interrupt the flow of speech. And it still fills that purpose before unaccented first syllables starting with h. This comment suggests that the indefinite article form an developed from the form a as a means of facilitating pronunciation. Unlike Esperanto, English is not an invented language, but the product of more than a thousand years of development. An was not invented to facilitate the flow of language. Neither did it begin its life as â€Å"an indefinite article.† It started out as a numeric adjective. The English indefinite article a/an derives from the Old English word for one: ane. The word was written ane, anne, aenne and aene in its various declensions. As it evolved into our modern indefinite article, sometimes it signified the number one and sometimes the article a. For example, in an OE version of the New Testament parable of the workmen who are all paid the same for different amounts of work, the owner of the vineyard pays them â€Å"anne pening,† that is, â€Å"one penny.† In the account of the voyages of Ohthere and Wulfstan, Ohthere refers to Skiringssal as â€Å"an port,† that is, â€Å"a port.† Even in modern usage, the article a/an can be used in the sense of â€Å"one,† as in, â€Å"I’ll have a hamburger, a cherry Coke, and two orders of fries.† Like the reader whose comment prompted this post, some modern speakers feel that that an â€Å"still fills [a] purpose before unaccented first syllables starting with h.† According to a note in the OED, â€Å"many (perhaps most) writers down to the 19th century retained an before sounded h and some even before eu, u, as â€Å"an historian,† â€Å"an euphonic vowel,† and â€Å"an united appeal.† Most modern usage guides, however, recommend a. That’s not to say that you can’t say â€Å"an historic† if you want to. Related posts: A Useful Reminder About An A Historic vs. An Historic Want to improve your English in five minutes a day?
