'Because', 'as' and 'since' are conjunctions.



'For' is a preposition.



So we can make only the following sentences:



Bullying is unacceptable BECAUSE it is against the school rules.



Bullying is unacceptable AS it is against the school rules.



Bullying is unacceptable SINCE it is against the school rules.

  • And how about "Why is it unacceptable? For it's against school rules."

Origin of the phrase “under your belt”?

Image
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0; } 17 1 Today, I found myself discussing what students should have "under their belts" during a lecture, and I wondered to myself if there was some inappropriate undertone here that I might be unaware of. Question : What is the origin of the phrase "under your belt"? A google search revealed some webpages (e.g. [1]) that assert its origin is related to consumption of food -- once a meal has been eaten, it's under your belt (which is a relief). However, with such websites, I have no way to determine fact from "random guy on the internet making stuff up". etymology idioms ...
