Is the saying Beckon call or beck and call?
- You can be said to be at someones beck and call. Sounds like more of that old British saying.
- The term "beck and call" used in a sentence is "Sue has her husband running at her beck and call." Beck is a short term for "Becoming" (summoning someone to you as if by order) and call means to call out or demand. In other words the person who has people coming to their "beck and call" is in control.
- "Beckon call" is incorrect. "... at someones beck and call" is correct. Beckon is a verb, not an adjective. "Beck" is a noun. "To beckon" is like "to call" or "to summon". "Beck" is like "call" or "summon".
- First, the fact that the word "beckon" is older than it's abbreviation "beck" is irrelevant. The correct term is "beck and call." "*Beckon call" is a mishearing of the correct term. This is born out by a simple trip to any dictionary. Fabricated stories about "servient" gestures aside, the term "beck and call" is the only correct term. That said, the first answer is also incorrect. The term "beck" does not come from a shortening of "become." Rather, as stated, it is a shortening of "beckon," from the old English "becnan." Nonetheless, its use in the idiomatic "beck and call" stems from the middle English, and was not in use prior. All of this is easily confirmed by consulting a dictionary. One might also be well-served looking up the definition of the word "apprehension" as well.
More simply stated a "beck" is a silent summoning, as in a nod or other gesture or a beacon, and a "call" is a sounded summoning, as in a shout or other type of oral command or a bugle or drum.
"Although the word 'beck' used outside of 'beck and call' is archaic and rarely heard today, it's really only a shortened form of our familiar word 'beckon,' meaning 'to make a mute signal or gesture,' especially to call a person over to you. 'Beckon,' in turn, comes from an old Germanic word meaning 'signal,' from which we also derive the modern English word 'beacon.'"As a verb, 'beck' first appeared around 1300 A.D. ('beckon' is a bit older, first showing up around 950). The phrase 'beck and call' is much more recent, dating only to about 1875."

I use this site often and this is my first time making a comment but I reluctantly think both above answers are wrong. I cannot back up my answer with theory and history as the previous people have done nor do I have time. I always thought it is most correct to say that, for example: I will be at your "BECKONED CALL". I welcome any of you grammar guru's to judge my answer. For now I will stick with my answer but will keep an open mind until I get a better explanation. Thanks!
What were the Townsend duties?
The purpose of the Townshend Acts was to raise revenue in the colonies to pay the salaries of governors and judges so that they would be independent of colonial rule, to create a more effective means of enforcing compliance with trade regulations, to punish the province of New York for failing to comply with the 1765 Quartering Act, and to establish the precedent that the British Parliament had the right to tax the colonies. The Townshend Acts were met with resistance in the colonies, prompting the occupation of Boston by British troops in 1768, which eventually resulted in the Boston Massacre of 1770.

What is the average kdr for modern warfare 2?
A first guess would be 1, but a number of factors cause it to deviate:
•It depends on what type of average you use. The standard average of (A1+A2+…+An)/n will result in an average well above 1, for example if one person has 1 kill 2 deaths and another has 2 kills 1 death the average will be (0.5 + 2)/2 = 1.25, not 1.
The proper average in this case would be the geometric mean:
[nth root of](A1*A2*…*An)
•Dashboarders. Some people exit to the Xbox dashboard or Playstation XMB and their stats for a game are erased.
•Hackers/Derankers. 'Nuff said.
•Suicides.
•People have played for different amounts of time. One person may have KDR 1.1 and have 11000 kills / 10000 deaths, while another may have KDR 0 and have 0 kills 1 death. The overall average would of course be very close to 1.1, but a simple average of the two people's KDR's would be 0.55. This is why you shouldn't take an average of averages.

You bet your booty that's true! If the man doesn't call you, you've just saved time by not wasting your life on this man and also hurting yourself in the process. As hard as it may be, don't call him all the time, but just once in awhile. Keep him guessing! Get out with friends, and if you are going together as a steady couple, date a few other guys while you are at it.
If a guy only calls you a week later after the first date what does it mean?
Nothing in particular - he may have just been busy or just giving sometime between the date and when he was prepared to call you again - don't read into it.
Any ratio where the wins are above the losses is good, 70:3 is very good and well above average.
