Computers: what is the difference between load and loading?

Is (being) loaded - English Language Learners Stack Exchange

"Are you working today" or "Do you work today?"
" Are you working today? " is a specific question about this day - not this day of the week, but this exact day. For example, it might be a Wednesday, and you know the other person normally works Wednesdays, but perhaps you are enquiring if they took a vacation day. " Do you work today " sounds a little unclear but it could be okay in context. " Do you work... " rather than " are you working ...

Is the use of future continuous in "will be adding" acceptable?
What I wanted to point out was that the speaker, in choosing the future continuous, is not only explaining what is to be expected under the circumstances, but emphasizing that that transaction is multi-phase with the continuous, and also avoiding other valid choices that might seem less polite. Not that the speaker has spent a lot of cogitating -- it could be just the manner of communicating ...

What is the difference between S' and 'S?
Both express possession, of course. We use 's with singular nouns. For example, " my son's toys " will be "the toys that belong to my son". We use only an apostrophe (') after plural nouns that end in -s: " my sons' toys " means that I have more than one son and these are their toys. We use 's for possession with the other plural nouns. For example: " my children's toys; women's wishes, etc.

When to use 'at' or 'from' after an adjective
It's basically the same as your other question and its answer. In all your examples here, at indicates an instantaneous event (not related to anything leading up to that event) had an effect; from indicates that the effect stemmed from an existing or long-standing condition. I became hungry at the smell of the cookies. The smell of the cookies reached you and you became hungry (instantaneous ...
