tynamite's avatar Because it's not high brow enough to be formal, and not pally enough to be informal. It strikes a balance.

If you can't see the managorial/civilian/stranger person you're talking to, (and what class/subculture they are), it's the safest bet.

What's an assertion, and what should I type in?

Compesh is a question and answer (and debate) website, so before you make a debate, you better learn what an assertion is. I suppose you already know what a question is, and that you've typed it in the box. ;)

An assertion, is basically a statement you can make, that is either true or false.

Richer people have better health.

The question for that would be, Do richer people have better health?

And don't forget to make your assertion, match your question.
