hahaha, my mom used it a few weeks ago. She is an immigrant from Croatia, and hearing it from her was really funny, especially with her accent. She called me a lousy skiier (I am a ski instructor and definitely not a lousy skiier, but it cracked me up!) Sure we use it in the United States, but not very often, so when people use the word it's kind of memorable. It kind of indicates that you might have a good vocabulary

I like the topic of this paper. It's true that employment is a stress throughout adult life, especially when we are young and haven't delved into a particular career. The main thing I noticed is that you sometimes used adjectives as nouns. 'necessary' and 'interesting' are both adjectives, but from the structure of the sentence, it looks like you are trying to use them as nouns. Also, it sounds like your thesis statement is "I would like to analyze this topic." I would consider this pretty vague. I would say something like " I think that job satisfaction is based on appropriate salary, ..."

Hello, Overall, I'm pretty sure I understand what you are trying to say, but there are several things you could work on. Some big ones are: -check the the verb tense matches the time frame you are talking about. Since your dates talk about the past, you could write most of the essay in past tense -articles (a and the): you found a lot of them, but there are several more that you missed (such as 'the last six years') -word choice and phrase choice:I think that by main city, you mean 'capital city', and we just say 'meanwhile,' not 'at the meanwhile' -prepositions: sometimes you misuse prepositions (of, for, from, at, etc). "at the meanwhile" would be an example. But like Michael said, it's very hard to give you comments in this form...

I agree with Matthew. All the above phrases are great, but if you want to rate something against other things (good, better, best), then the best thing to say would be "My favorite."
