However, there are exceptions where nouns ending in certain letters like -ch, -sh, -x or a consonant followed by -o add -es instead of -s. Some nouns become plural by changing their spelling entirely. A few nouns can be both singular and plural.

Sounds
This document discusses key elements used in radio plays to tell a story without visuals, including dialogue, tone/volume/pitch of voices, music, and sound effects. Dialogue is how the story is largely developed. Tone, volume, and pitch of voices help convey moods and distinguish characters. Music is used to help create atmosphere and shape listeners' attitudes. Specific musical themes can represent characters or events. Sound effects are used to reveal actions and create atmospheres like tension or excitement. These elements allow radio plays to effectively present ideas and pictures to the listeners' minds.
Pronouns1
The document discusses different types of pronouns including personal pronouns, reflexive pronouns, and possessive pronouns. Personal pronouns refer to specific persons or things. Reflexive pronouns end in "-self" or "-selves" and refer back to the subject. Possessive pronouns show ownership and do not contain apostrophes, examples include ours, his, their, and her.
Commas2
Commas can be used to contrast opposites in a sentence written in phrase form, as in "The tutor was very friendly, not mean and scary the way Peta expected." Commas are also used to separate elements in a list and parts of a sentence introducing direct speech, such as "“This is my favourite story,” Peta told her tutor." However, commas should not be overused as it makes the writing difficult to read, similar to overusing full stops. The document provides examples of correct comma usage and a warning against overusing commas.
Capitals
The document discusses capitalization rules in English, including capitalizing:
1) The first letter of every sentence.
2) The first word, last word, and important words in book and article titles.
3) Proper nouns like names of people, places, days, and months.
4) Religions, gods, pronouns referring to God and Jesus, and titles used before names.
Proper Nouns
Proper nouns name specific people, places, organizations or titles. They always begin with a capital letter, such as names like Luath, Tao, Canada, Australia, Sheila, Burnsford, Mr. Hunter, Eastern Canada, and The Incredible Journey. The document provides examples of proper nouns and exercises to capitalize proper nouns in sentences.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Artificial Intelligence for XMLDevelopment
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
