Great Link

Hadn't heard this one before:

Failed boys will not get promotion to the next class. (W)

Plucked boys will not get any promotion to the next class. (R)

Those boys who do not achieve success is an examination are ‘plucked’ and not ‘failed’.

Long time,this thread is so dead I came back to remove those cobwebs

Anyways,when we say -Each of you go and help the fellow puy,
and when we say-Everyone should help the fellow puys..

Both these sentences have the same meaning ?
