You can't focus on studying if you're chatting with someone else, too. So the cell phone is off limits. Turn off the home phone, too, along with the computer (unless you're prepping on it) and any music with vocals. Study music should be lyric-free! Post a sign on your door for people to stay away.

Cuss is simply an American alteration of curse, and its meaning âto say bad wordsâ was first recorded in 1815. How does swear come to simultaneously mean âto bind oneself by oath,â and âto use profane oaths or languageâ? The earliest swear words were identical to curse words â taking the Christian Godâs name in vain, or speaking of acts that were considered sinful.
