    Know and No

    Commonly Confused Word
    The verb know means to be aware, to be informed, to
    recognize, to understand, or to be acquainted with.
    No (which can function as an adjective, an adverb, or
    an interjection) means the opposite of yes: not so,
    not in any degree. No can also be used as an
    exclamation to give force to a negative statement. See also: Negation.
    Examples:
    - Kara didn't know any of the other children in her class.
    - If you think you know the right answer, raise your hand.
    - James firmly believes that no good deed goes unpunished.
    - No, I will not be quiet.

    Damp Squid: The top 10 misquoted phrases in Britain.

     

    British people become tongue-tied over the most simple everyday phrases, with "damp
    squib" being the one that most of us get wrong, a survey has shown.
    Many phrases we use are often misquotes from Shakespeare and other traditional sayings – and
    people do not realise they have made mistakes.
    Now a new poll has revealed a top ten of the most misquoted phrases in Britain.
    Top of the league is a "damp squib", a term for failure named after a dud 19th century explosive
    mining device, which is often mispronounced as "damp squid."
    Others in the chart include "one fell swoop" which was originally uttered by MacDuff in
    Shakespeare's Macbeth but which is often mistakenly repeated as "one foul swoop".
    Another favourite is the Shakespearean quote from Merchant of Venice "all that glisters is not
    gold" which we misquote as "all the glitters is not gold".The misquote is so common it is now even used in the play itself.
    Others mix up the 19th century nautical term "batten down the hatches", instead saying "batting
    down the hatches"
    The 14th century phrase "On tenter hooks" which derives from a wooden frame that hung wet
    clothes out to dry is often mistaken as "on tender hooks."
    The phrase "Find a pin and pick it up," the first line of a poem in "The Real Mother Goose" book
    of nursery rhymes is now misquoted as "Find a penny pick it up".
    The survey of 1,000 people was compiled by hearing aid retailer Amplifon, as part of its
    "Bringing Sound to Life" campaign aimed at revealing the state of the nation's hearing.
    Mark Holmes, from the company, said: "Technically these are called malapropisms but we think
    most people simply mishear them in the first place and repeat their mistake over and over again.
    "For a nation that produced Shakespeare, Wordsworth and Stephen Fry, it seems we Brits aren't
    as a literary as we think."
    The top ten misquotes by British people are as follows:
    1) A damp squid (a damp squib)
    2) On tender hooks (on tenter hooks)
    3) Nip it in the butt (nip it in the bud)
    4) Champing at the bit (chomping at the bit)
    5) A mute point (a moot point)
    6) One foul swoop (one fell swoop)
    7) All that glitters is not gold (all that glisters is not gold)
    8) Adverse to (averse to)
    9) Batting down the hatches (batten down the hatches)
    10) Find a penny pick it up (find a pin pick it up)How we moderate
  4. Not sure.

    They have a lot of default templates for that sort of thing but at a guess those have been built based on an After Effects template but modified to suit the production.

    http://www.borisfx.com/ also sell software to create similar sort of graphics but are a plugin for specific non linear editing software.

  5. It's not an editing package, it's an effects package called After Effects, part of the Adobe CS collection.

    It creates the graphics using an alpha channel, similar to the old school matte key process and you just lay it over your edited footage which you will have cut up in Premiere, Vegas, Final Cut or another industry standard non linear editing system but not fookin iMovie!

    That is or'll.
