Question: Is it true that the word “QWERTY” can be used to create a virus?
I was told that typing the word “QWERTY” over and over again fast can create a virus on someones computer. I tried telling my dad about it and he doesn’t believe me, so when I tried looking it up I couldn’t find anything.
Can anyone explain this “fact or fiction” situation for me?

Question: Used Brand New”Fiction”?
I am an avid reader and buy at least 1 or 2 new hardcovers and paperback books a week. Now with the economy so bad, I was wondering if anyone knew where, other than ebay, I could sell them for at least half price. They have not been read by anyone other than myself. Please, only serious answers.
The hardcovers are brand new and all purchased on Tuesdays ( the release dates)..Still have sticker prices from Borders and read only by me…I read them in 2 days so they’re really new. I’d take half price if I could get it!
Do local Library’s buy recently published, (barely) used books? I honestly would take 50% to 75% off original price.

try craigslist or amazon (i think you can sell used stuff there)
I am creating a thematic unit for an education class and I need works of literature, films, etc (including fiction and non-fiction) that will teach injustice. I already plan on using “To Kill a Mockingbird” and possibly the graphic novel “Persepolis” or “American Born Chinese”, but I need more ideas!!!
Thanks in Advance.

I am of the opinion that contractions are fine in dialogue or if the writer intends to be more whimsical in tone.
However, at least one writer claims that contractions can be used in any fiction writing and that using whole words instead of contractions is formal and archaic.
So, what do you think? When are contractions ok and how does it affect the tone?
I’m more concerned about whether the writer should use contractions outside of dialogue, for instance when describing a scene.
