Welcome to the forums. Always good to have students.

It is always far more important to write (and, of course) to think in a concise and clear manner than to be able to manipulate the more technical words allied with philosophical thinking. At some time, of course, as your studies progress these words will become second-nature to you, and you may begin to learn the terminology here as you join in the many dialogues already in progress or initiate your own by starting threads yourself.

I think the general problem in forums (and this is not confined to forums) arises when people use (or in this case mis-use) philosophical terms in common ways, or common words instead of more accurate philosophical terms, or use words in a completely different and unique sense.

Thanks for the welcomes everyone...

I've also applied for KCL, Bristol, Southampton and Exeter. I've heard nothing from them

I've applied for Bristol, Southampton, Reading, Cardiff and Leeds.
I have only heard from Reading who gave me an offer of 300 Points and from Southampton who I have an interview with.

Best wishes on getting the place you want.
