Missing Dollar Paradox: The Ladies paid $9 each. 9 times 3 = 27, but that calculation already includes the $2 that the waiter took for himself. So $25 went to the restaurant + $2 to the waiter + $3 that went back to the ladies = $30. So the ladies paid $27, then they got their $3 back. The restaurant took $25, then the waiter left with $2 = $27 + $3 the ladies got back = $30. There is no missing dollar.

14 rules of grammar
These are only the essential forms of grammar, and should be pretty simple
Rule 1
There,their,they’re-
There- There is just for the rest of the time you don’t can’t use the contraction or ownership
Their- Ownership
They’re- They are
Rule 2
It’s- It is
Its- everything else
Rule 3
The reason is because- Should not be used
Rule 4
Pronouns and gender
Use he and she or genderless pronouns because it is not right to assume gender
Rule 5
Pronouns and numbers
Count and noncount nouns
If you cannot count them, use the number
Rule 6
To/two/too
Two- The number
Too- in adition
To- to go
Rule 7
Periods and commas inside of the quotes
Rule 8
Then/than
Then- Used for time and consequence
Than- to compare
Rule 9
Affect/Effect
Affect is the verb
Effect is the noun
Rule 10
Your and You’re
You’re is the contraction you are
Your is everything else
Rule 11
Single and double quotes
Use single quotes when quoting inside of a quote
Rule 12
Banning second person
DO not use you
Rule 13
Plurals and posessives
Possessives get an apostrophe to show ownership, plurals do not
Rule 14
Subject/verb agreement
Make sure your subjects and verbs are the same tense
Rule 13
Write it out, singular or plural, and add the apostrophe s
IF it’s plural, and ends in an s, put the apostrophe on the outside
Put the ’s if you say it
Ex. Miles’s backpack
Rule 14
Hunger and disease in developing countries harm everyone
Singular: Everybody, everyone, everything
If it has body, one, or thing in it, it is singular
Rule 12
DO not use second person
It has no place in academic writing
Gm morning of 11/1/2017 discussed “the missing money paradox” and we also talked about the 14 grammar rules that are essential to passing the course. Also our A08-white paper assignment as we move forward into our 3,000 word research paper . A couple of hypothesis and what you think your definition argument will do and your rebuttal argument will do. Copy & paste your propsal +5 essay to use for your white paper as it is very essential this is Due on Sunday at Midnight Nov 5 . Singular- everybody , everyone , everything only plural is -ALL . The missing dollar paradox I believe the $27 is included inside of the tip,each guest have $3 then added to the $27 with the revised cost equals up to $30?
-There are bare minimum rules for grammar that must be accomplished in order to pass the class.
-Solve the paradox by the end of class.
-There are 14 minimum grammar rules.
-Use “fewer” when the item can be counted. Use “less” when it cannot be counted.
-Affect/effect rule is often confusing.
-A white paper is useful to gather research and notes.
-It will be loosely organized.
-The 3000 word essay consists of definition, cause/effect, and rebuttal.
-Apostrophes are often used when words are possessive.
-Single possessive ex. kid’s room
-Plural possessive ex. kids’ room
-“Each” is singular.
-“Everyone” is singular.
-“Everybody” is singular.
-“All” is plural.
-Whenever tempted to use “you,” identify the main noun that the you is describing and use that instead.
-Instead of using “his or her,” mixup using one or the other.
Solve the paradox before the end of class.
The White Paper assignment is due Sunday at Midnight.
Essential grammar is expected.
There are 14 rules under ‘Fails for Grammar’ that can help with grammar and teach you how to use it correctly.
These 14 rules show you the proper way to use words, punctuation, quotes, and how to properly say what it is you want to say, not what you mean.
Grammar will be graded, it will be categorized under FFG (failed for grammar). When this happens you will not be able to receive your grades until it is fixed.
The White Paper is a place to gather your sources and organize everything for the research paper.
It states what stage your research is in; where your research is.
Loosely organized, however you choose to do it.
Sources and proposal become the opening content of your white paper. (From Proposal +5)
Working Hypothesis: can have two (fall back position) they don’t have to contrast each other, this is also your thesis, it states the argument you are making and stepping yourself up to argue it
Rebuttal Argument: directed to the person that doesn’t agree with you, the person you are trying to convince in your argument
The entire focus of the essay will be on one of those argument types. (Rebuttal/Cause and Effect).
Definition/Classification: getting the reader to understand an misunderstood argument, in the way that you favor (arguing).
Cause and Effect: stating the cause and the effect of the solution of your argument, or how it’s harming/inconveniencing people.
State the current state of the research paper; how you feel about it, what you think each argument will do for this paper.
Again, White Paper Assignment will be due on Sunday night (11/5) at midnight.
Plurals and Possessives (Rule 13): “of the” =possession
~examples: I’m in my kid’s room. (single child’s bedroom)
I’m in my kids’ room. ( the room of your children)
I’m in the people’s chambers. (whether it’s singular or plural add the ‘s)
Don’t worry about anything unless it looks really stupid.
Several peoples’ reactions were recorded. (not peoples’s…that looks stupid)
David Hodges’s book bag. (it correctly ends in an s, so the ‘s is correct as well)
Try saying it out loud, it could help.
Subject/Verb Agreement (Rule 14): the number of subject should agree with the number of verbs
~examples: Hunger…harms everyone. (hunger is singular, harms is plural-incorrect)
If it has ‘body’, ‘one’, or ‘thing’ in it, its considered singular. The only one that is plural is ‘all’.
Pronouns are singular, even the word ‘none’.
The Banned 2nd Person (Rule 12): The only time you can use that is if you are in the position to do so (like a preacher, a teacher, or anyone else that you openly follow instructions from. As a writer you can tell the reader how to think or what they should do. With that said, don’t use it at all. Using ‘you’ might be offensive in the sense that it might not fit the description of the reader.
~example: You might be at a higher risk of a car accident if you’re a teenager. (the reader might not be a teenager, already lost them)
Find another way to write without the use of ‘you’.
Where did that missing dollar go ?!?!
There is no missing dollar, it’s wording of the problem that makes it seem that way.
Rule 1: There/Their/they’re
Rule 2: its/it’s
Rule 3: The reason is because
Rule 4A: Pronouns and Gender
Rule 4B: Pronouns and Number
Rule 5: Count and Noncount Nouns
Rule 6: to/two/too
Rule 7: Periods and Commas Inside the Quotes
Rule 8: Then/Than
Rule 9: Affect/Effect
Rule 10: Your/You’re
Rule 11: Single Quotes/Double Quotes
Rule 12: The Banned 2nd Person
Rule 13: Plurals and Possessives
Rule 14: Subject/Verb Agreement

can stand on their own but build on your hypothesis. argue with people who feel differently.
Definition: ex: I might need to explain the analogy between A and B. Demonstrating similarity to audience the argument.
Cause&effect: When A happens this happens. When B happens this happens. We need A for this to happen.
Rebuttal: ex: attack against opposing position.

brief paragraph on how you’re feeling about the progress you’re made, how opinions have changed and what you think the eventual outcome will be.
Grammar
1. there/their/they’re
they’re: they are
their: possessive
there: used rest of the time
2. its/it’s

ex: I’m in my kid’s room. singular child
I’m in my kids’ room. multiple children

Today in class we discussed, (11/01)
Steps we’ll be taking towards the big assignment, in which we started with the Definition Argument assignment.
We’ll have the White Paper due Sunday, to help us work toward our final assignment as well.
We went over a paradox and had to solve before the end of class.
Lastly, Professor went over Fails in Grammar we may struggle with.
Notes 11/1/17
-Housekeeping, Missing Dollar Paradox, Fails for Grammar (FFG) 14 rules of absolutely essential grammar and punctuation. Professor listed each rule with brief explanation and took a vote on which rules the class needed review.
-White paper is where we collect and gather notes and thoughts for research. A08: White paper will consists of three sections working hypothesis 1, working hypothesis 2 and topics for smaller paper.
-End of class post response about the missing dollar paradox
