Why are they often called "hot" water heaters, instead of just, water heaters? They don't heat hot water. They heat cold water to make it hot...

gsotes62 This was actually the same exact question I had when I first encountered the HVAC industry. I actually edited "hot water heater" to "water heater" from some of our technical papers. Then I found out that the term "hot water heater" has been used in the...

gsotes62 Do not be too hasty to judge the judges. Your bosses are probably not dancers. They probably have different taste than you. Besides, your judges are also humans and are subjects to emotions and unintentional biases. Life is not fair, the best does not always...

gsotes62 December 25 is not actually the factual date of the Birth of Jesus because nobody really knows the exact date. I suppose nobody could ever really know becuase our current calendar existed only after the death of Christ, that is why the years are termed A.D....

It is normal to address people of higher ranks, or more senior than you as "sir/ma'm". But how do you feel if the person addressing you as sir/mam is: 1)a coemployee of the same rank; 2) an employee who ranks higher than you i.e....

gsotes62 In my country, Philippines, you have to address your supervisor and other higher ranking employee as sir. Otherwise you will be marked as disrespectful, it may even be considered as insubordination in some cases. Teachers are naturally respected so even...

I am just wondering if this is the reason why some countries have "Holiday Parties" instead of "Christmas Parties"? or why some people greet other people with "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas"? Is it really offensive...

gsotes62 Thank you Aodniah. I agree with all you have said. Here is another question though: Did any of your supervisors, managers, or boss ever addressed you as sir/mam? How does that feel?

gsotes62 Being poor is not just the lack of money. I used to know some people who have lots of money but still consider themselves poor because they have more debts than the total value of their assets combined. It's the lack of technical know-how on how to manage...
