Why did you bring up the Thesaurus if it doesn't have to do with grammar?

Did you do this just to stroke that ego?

could you say that in some way that makes sense?
truth isn't what i say. isn't what you say. isn't what anybody says. truth is what is there, when no one is saying anything.

. Both are as valid as each other. They do the exact same thing. In some parts of the country, the ACT is more common. In others, the SAT is more common. Both are accepted at colleges.

What, no. Both the ACT and SAT are accepted at 4 year colleges. they test the same thing, reading, writing, grammar, and math. The ACT also happens to have an additional science section. Also, recently more people have taken the ACT than the SAT.
