@Stackem my math was done on a calculator with only one battery ( I've edited my post to update price 🤣) 

@EStrading kindly and respectfully pointed out my error. 

Tbh, I'm ashamed of the rest of you lot for missing it 😁

I've seen from first moment that you divided at .375 instead to multiply.... 😁

How much would 200g 9ct gold sell for?

BBP: £48.91 per gram Gold (00:17 28 Sep 2022)

200g (weight) * £48.91 (spot) / 24k (pure gold) * 9k (actual purity) = £3,668.25

 

This assumes you have genuine (hallmarked or tested) 9k Gold

Edited..you must have the same fake casio calculator as me.

Please, Lawrence..... "Between" and "among" are two words very difficult for me (as foreigner) to distinguish the difference.

For example:

1. In this batch of .375 gold jewellery there are few high quality pieces hiding between/among low premium stuffs.

2. When Darren is asking you any question, I can read between/among his words that he want to ask you about shipping costs.

Can you, please, explain me when can be used "between " and when can be used "among"?

I have tried to understand several times from English Grammar books, but it is still cloudy in my mind.

 

 

No one else has answered this perfectly legitimate, if slightly off-topic question, and I assume it comes from genuine puzzlement so it deserves an answer. So here goes:

'between' would be used to describe, for example, the geographical position of Edinburgh 'which lies between London and the North Pole', or as in the statement that ' he (or she) was torn between love and hate in his/her feelings for his/her brother (or sister)'. Think of it being possible either literally or non-literally to draw a line BETWEEN two things;

'among' (or 'amongst' - no great difference) would be used to describe something or someone in an enclosed, defined group, as in 'among the inhabitants of London there are many recent immigrants' or 'among the many poor quality coins in the auction there were a few good ones'.

Hope this helps. (I used to be a teacher, I'm afraid, though my subject was History, not English, so my attempt at an explanation may not be successful.)

While I often give Free English Lessons, similar to @Darr3nG's free Maths Lessons, I have got a really busy day today.

There are others on TSF who are better qualified than I am, possibly @dicker.

If you are still struggling, remind me at weekend!

Yeah probably let you off the hook tbf!!

My understanding is that between means between two points / people / things.

Among means within a group (more than 2) of points / people / things.

Wait until I get my new MacBook Pro and I’ll work it out for you…….it’s got a great calculator on and it tells the time and everything! 
 

@dicker I’m between my 2nd and 3rd cup a coffee and I know I’m among a bunch of crazy people l!

That sounds spot on to me.

So here goes:

Amongst and among mean the same thing, but among is more common, particularly in American English. Both words are prepositions that mean “into, surrounded by; in the midst of, so as to influence; with a share for each of; in the number, class, or group of; mutually; or by all or with the whole of.”

What did grandma, or John "do" on the bear? Seems harsh 😕 

[scotwasp]

The question is , did anyone eat the bear, and if so, was the meat “grizzly”?
