Is this sentence right?

Question

He studied his butt off to ace the exam and didn't even pass it!

GPY · Accepted Answer

It is correct in casual English. It is very slightly vulgar. It would not be appropriate in polite or formal situations.

Mojtaba vahdati · Answer

Yes I feel it, I only assumed myself being as a youngster speaking with one of my friends in the same age, you know all about those words in that age?!

By the way, I feel embarrassed to make another post for this,

so please help me here about it, I feel like "at the same time" in this sentence is not emphatic to me, nor "simultaneously" is, I feel. What do you suggest please?
"That’s it, our difference. I believe the most simple and upgradable at the same time apparatus that we can reinforce and use through our whole life is our brain."

GPY · Answer

"at the same time" is OK, but you have it in the wrong place. You can say this:

"... the most simple and at the same time upgradable apparatus ..."

I am not totally convinced about the statement as a whole. Is the brain "simple" or "upgradable"? The verb "reinforce" may also not be the best choice. I am not very clear what to suggest in its place though.

Mojtaba vahdati · Answer

Thanks for the response GPY. Well, You're right. "simple" is not a wise choice. Maybe "ubiquitous" and "available" were better. but about "reinforce", I have no idea. how about "improve"...? Um..., thanks anyway.
