How do we know if something is the truth?

How do we know if something is the truth?

We know something is true if it is in accordance with measurable reality. But just five hundred years ago, this seemingly self-evident premise was not common thinking. Instead, for much of recorded history, truth was rooted in scholasticism.

Does no answer mean no?

Essentially, no response means “The answer is no but I don’t want to say as much.” The recipient or in this case the non-recipient is supposed to deduce basis the obvious hints. The old adage, “No news, is good news” obviously does not hold good.

Which is correct no answer or no answers?

The two are pretty much interchangeable, however. With a negative it usually doesn’t matter much whether you use the singular or the plural. Context may affect your choice. It may depend on how many answers you were expecting in this particular case.

The Importance of Truth. Truth matters, both to us as individuals and to society as a whole. As individuals, being truthful means that we can grow and mature, learning from our mistakes. For society, truthfulness makes social bonds, and lying and hypocrisy break them.

What do you say when you call someone back?

The suggestions in comments are good, but I tend to identify myself so they don’t have to ask (especially if you think it might be a job opportunity!) I’d go with something like this: Hi, this is [your name]. I have a missed call from this number, and I just wanted to call you back and see what you were calling about.

Is no answer a sentence?

Called, no answer is not a full sentence by the traditional definition, nor is Called. No answer. But there is no requirement that journal or log entries be full sentences; you are not writing a persuasive essay that demonstrates that a contact was called but there was no answer, merely recording the fact of it.
