<p>and what were her "though"???</p>
<p>yeah, i'm not sure what you meant by that either.</p>
<p>**edit: nice work ee_stu..you sure did show me by fixing your spelling error..</p>
<p>Berkeley has an outstanding reputation in the east coast (It is the #1 ranked public school afterall). Outside the US, it's held in the same breath as Harvard, Yale, and etc.</p>
<p>Thanks for your input, WillDO. </p>
<p>Have you decided whether to live on or off campus yet?</p>
<p>"I'm sure the amount of people who know Cal > the amount of people who know UC Berkeley"</p>
<p>I'm from the midwest and i only recently found out that cal = berkeley. I always knew what berkeley was though, and that it was good. Maybe I just didn't know Cal because i don't really pay attention to sports, and cal is what it's known as among sports people.</p>
<p>He/she used the word "thoughts" as a noun.</p>
<p>I would be willing to say most schools with division I football and basketball teams are well known across the country.</p>
<p>FYI, "thoughts" is a verb. Not trying to start a fight or anything. Please don't hurt me.</p>
<p>Let me ask you this: What are your thoughts?</p>
<p>The past participle of think is thoughts, a verb.</p>
<p>'Thoughts' can also be a noun, but in the context it was used it was a verb.</p>
<p>"My thoughts, exactly" literally means "My 'previous thinking' exactly"</p>
<p>In the way you used it the statement would literally translate "My 'products of thinking', exactly" which makes no sense.</p>
<p>I have an honest question:</p>
<p>How come we can't say "My 'products of thinking,' exactly" so that "products of thinking" is a possessive noun?</p>
<p>Um, 'thoughts' isn't a participle, past or present, and it isn't a verb.</p>
<p>My bad Tallkell I done mess up. But don't be hatin on the way I talkin cuz I is goin to Berkeley just like you. If your looks match your ego, I'll be the first in line to kiss your feet. But you'd just chew me up and throw me out the back door like you do all the others. :(</p>
<p>ya, that was pretty rude lol</p>
<p>i have told someone in NYC about Cal and UCLA and the chick said " what is berkeley, and where is UCLA" ... but the chick is stupid so i wasnt suprised. Most normal people on the ast i knwo are all well aware of LA and CAL.</p>
<p>yea chicks are stupid</p>

<p>Yes it is a verb.</p>
<p>"For some irregular verbs, the past tense and past participle are the same: thought and thought. For others, the two forms are different: spoke and spoken"</p>
<p>"thought v.
Past tense and past participle of think."</p>

<p>"thought" is a past participle of think, but "thoughts" is not.</p>
<p>"How come we can't say "My 'products of thinking,' exactly" so that "products of thinking" is a possessive noun?"</p>
<p>I suppose you can. But isn't the point to say that you follow that persons logic (ie line of thinking) rather than saying your ideas (products of thinking) were such-and-such?</p>
<p>Almost like saying, "I agree"?</p>
<p>Yes, if 'thought' has an 's' at the end, it's a noun.</p>
<p>YES "THOUGHTS" IS NOTTTTT A VERB--man that is wrong.</p>
<p>"Thought" IS OF COURSE a verb.</p>
<p>Also, tallkell, how 'bout you brag about getting into Cal when you go and actually succeed? Getting in is only the beginning.</p>
<p>Matt, your confusing me, lol. I thought these two things mean the same thing: To say that I follow his logic and to say that my ideas were exactly like his.</p>

<p>Ah, I see now what you meant when you said thoughts was used as a verb. But i disagree (no pun intended)</p>
