  • 工作学习 / English / Jabber's English Note---002 -jabber(jabber); 2001-6-25 {463} (#111606@0)
    Since we began to learn English, we have been used to the following questions:

    Do you have any sisters?
    Do you have any sisters and brothers?

    However, things are not as simple as we usually believe. For instance, if you show off your English before a professor, he/she may ask you: "Do you have any siblings? " Usually, people do not use this word. But in the paper work, it is quite common to use "siblings" instead of "brothers and sisters".
    • Siblings is a common word, no need to show off dude -slimpiggy(Aiya Kar-Ching); 2001-6-25 (#111614@0)
      • he means somebody else show off. Where is my car? -guest:; 2001-6-25 (#111623@0)
      • Maybe someone don't know. At least his post is helpful. -tropicalfish(热带鱼); 2001-6-25 (#111628@0)

      • If you are familiar with MFC, you will know there is a member function GetNextSiblingItem in the CTreeView or CTreeCtrl class. -jfhuang(Zigzag); 2001-6-26 (#112210@0)
        • I did use MFC several years ago in a Windows-based project, but I didn't get a chance to use CTreeView and CTreeCtrl :-( There are too many classes and too many functions in one class in VC++ :-( -birdincage(birdincage); 2001-6-26 (#112249@0)
