LEGO: What building techniques are there to achieve an angle of {X degrees}?

English Language Learners: Would a native speaker append “no” to a statement to turn it into a question? E.g., “You decided to wait for me elsewhere than we had agreed, no?”

English Language Learners: When my child says, “I was with Mary”, and I want to narrow the person down, do I ask back “Mary who?” or “Mary whom?”?

English Language Learners: Are there any simple rules for article usage (“a” vs. “the” vs. none)?

LEGO: How do you clean your bricks? What are the best techniques to remove dust, dirt or grease without putting too much wear on the bricks?

LEGO: Can I prevent Lego bricks from yellowing over time, or restore the original color, at least to some degree?

English Language Learners: In the sentence “The data is likely to have arrived by the time it is used”, what does “to have arrived” mean?

English Language Learners: “All your commas are belong to array” and similar — is this grammar form “proper”? Where does it come from?

LEGO: I am just getting started with NXT 2.0. Are there any books or online resources you can recommend?

Linguistics: How come in some languages you say “there is X”, in some “it gives X”, and in others “it has X”? The usage even differs between related languages!
