Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Idea"

A: That means that the ideas between everyone in your group do not work well with one another. For a group of things to not align can be literal, for example:

"A car crashed into a building. The crash was so powerful that it caused the front wheels to become misaligned." When you look at a car directly from the front, you should notice that all four wheels are perfectly aligned (all four wheels are even and level) so it can stay planted on the ground. But, with the car in the example sentence I gave, the wheels have been misaligned, since it was involved in a crash. So, imagine looking at the front of a car after it was involved in a crash - it won't be evenly planted on all four wheels since they would have become misaligned.

Now we can take the literal meaning of "misalign" and use it in the figure of speech in your example. It means that when the ideas of everyone are put together as one idea, it is uneaven, and thus, they don't align.

I hope this helps you, this is sort-of a tricky idea to explain so if you have any other questions about this please let me know, I'm happy to help!

A: It means that whatever he said has made this person feel like not going to Blandville at all.

A: it doesn't mean anything, it's a mistake. you can say "good idea", or "very good" 😊

A: horrendous means 'bad' or 'terrible'.

So the sentence:

"That's a horrendous idea"

means

"That's a bad idea" .

A: It seems that you have no idea
or
It seems that you don't know

A: No problem! Glad to help.

Yes, that’s exactly what it means!

A: In this context, “they” should be used since it is referring to all big fans as a generalization :)

A: i don’t know is more straightforward and simple. i have no idea puts more emphasis on the fact that you don’t know and kinda exaggerates the point.

ex) teacher asks a question
i don’t know the answer - seems more reserved, polite
i have no idea - seems almost sarcastic, a bit rude

ex) working on homework with friend. friend asks for help
i don’t know - seems reserved
i have no idea! - adds more personality, seems a bit funny, sarcastic, emphasizes that you are just as lost as them

A: A: Why would they build an airport so far away from the city?

A: I have no idea = You have no ideas at all, no good or bad ideas.

I have no good idea = You have no good ideas at all, maybe just bad ideas.

A: The sentence "You have no idea what kind of crap people are pulling" means that you have no idea what people are getting away with // you have no idea what kind of bad things people are up to // you have no idea what kind of things people are doing

We don't say "You have no idea what kind of crap people are doing" 🚫🚫🚫

A: Both are correct. I have got *sounds* more informal

A: There is no difference in my opinion

A: They both mean the same although the second one isn't quite right. You can be open to considering something or willing to consider something.
I'm open to considering new ideas. I'm willing to consider new ideas.

A: “But the idea first came to my mind.” (Do not use ‘up’ in this context)
Or “But the idea first struck me.”

Your second version is incorrect in a few ways. But using ‘struck’ in this way is very good idiomatic English. So the revised second sentence sounds really good, natural, more exciting than the first sentence.

For future reference: strike is only used with the object. No ‘to’ after it. Example: I strike/struck the ball. Not I strike/struck to the ball.

A: It was Biff’s idea to let the naughty children PLAY at the playground. It makes everybody happy, because the naughty children climb and jump in the right places. They are not actually bad children, just energetic.

A: I have no idea what you mean by “party” — это будет правильно

A: I'm not sure, but I think you may have misunderstood. "Whoever had the idea is a genius" is *correct* ("whoever" is the subject, which is fine). Your original sentence, "Whoever’s idea it was is a genius" is incorrect ("idea" is the subject, which does not make sense).

But yes, even though saying "whoever's idea it was is a genius" is grammatically incorrect, some people might sometimes say something like that (though I think many people would think that it sounds "uneducated" or "lazy" to speak that way). I think in most cases, people would understand what was meant, even though it was not actually said correctly.

The blog articles you referenced are talking about similar examples (and the blog author is also saying that it seemed strange to them, and they had to think about it for a minute to figure out what the speaker actually meant to say, because it was not said in the usual/correct way).

A: × I think it is a good idea for countries to have several official languages.
✓ I think it is a good idea for countries to have several official languages; however, learning new languages can be challenging.

× It is a good thing, but at the same time, it is challenging for some people.
✓ [combined with previous sentence]

× If multiple languages are designated as the official languages, those who live in that country must have a certain level of those languages.
✓ This could be difficult to implement, as those who live in that country will likely have to attain a certain level of proficiency in more than one of those languages, depending on how many languages are in use and in how many areas.

× It is apparent that it is so hard, especially for those who move to the country from elsewhere.
✓ This may be particularly difficult for those who have immigrated from countries that do not use any of the official languages.

× As a premise, infants’ brains are flexible enough to master foreign languages; however, mastering multiple languages is too difficult for adults who move from elsewhere.
✓ While infants’ brains are flexible enough to master languages, the brains of adults are already wired to use their native language(s), making introducing one new language difficult, let alone more than one.

× I believe that online learning can be a crucial factor in the first step to studying English.
✓ I believe that online learning can be a good first step in studying foreign languages.

× This is because a lot of companies have provided a variety of exciting curricula.

× Additionally, these days, most people have their own smartphones and use them all the time in daily life.
✓ Given that most people have smartphones and use them so frequently in daily life, learning foreign languages is more accesible than ever, and may be a suitable alternative to learning using paper and pencil.

× That means online learning is easier to study than paper learning on desks.

Overall, I got the idea of what you were trying to say; however, while the wording in most of your sentences was technically grammatically correct, it sounded very clunky and awkward. I combined some of your sentences to make the passage flow more nicely and naturally, and added some context to some of your sentences to make them easier to understand.

While this is rather off topic, I will say that paper and pencil combined with immersive conversation is crucial to learning a language successfully and remembering words and phrases. I say that as somebody who has studied multiple languages for years and is currently studying at the collegiate level to become a German teacher. I've only been studying German for just over 2 1/2 years, and writing exercises helped me to establish and remember vocabulary and grammar rules. Even research has proven that the hand-eye coordination involved with writing helps one to remember things more effectively. So you may want to rethink that argument. ;) Let me know if you have any more questions! :)

A: yes 👍🏻

A: (1) That's a good idea.
(1) That's a good idea.
