No. Earth only works if it is capitalized.

[Rhonda]

Would either of the following work for soldier?

He was a flawed man, but he did his best to protect his hometown from a scourge he knew more intimately than most of us. It was an obligation he felt deeply, and as he died, he passed part of that obligation on to me, like a falling soldier passing a regimental banner to a comrade.

or

“The girls you raped didn’t do anything to you.”

More confusion. “They were Serbs, man.”

“Why didn’t you target soldiers instead?”

[Rhonda]

Another one, please. Would this work for hot beverage?

I walk to the coffee table and drain half my cup in one swallow. The tea is almost scalding, but I welcome the pain.

Thanks!

[Dawn (Kat N Hat)]

All of those will work Rhonda.

[Gea]

Does king sized bed work for king?

[Dawn (Kat N Hat)]

Gea wrote: "Does king sized bed work for king?"

It should be in relation to a person, so no.

[Rhonda]

Will the following work for planet?

The context is an astronaut assigned to photograph the earth from space.

The blue-white ball of earth came into view.

But when she first looked out on the planet from her unusual vantage point, what she saw made her shudder.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, Rhonda both would work.

[Lauren]

Would "costume jewelry" work?

[Dawn (Kat N Hat)]

Lauren wrote: "Would "costume jewelry" work?"

No, it needs to be a full costume, and "costume jewelry" is just a classification of jewelry it isn't really anything to do with a costume anymore.

[Lauren]

Thanks Dawn. I'll pick a different word.

[Melanie]

Will "he'd be in hot water" work for Hot Beverage?

[Dawn (Kat N Hat)]

Melanie wrote: "Will "he'd be in hot water" work for Hot Beverage?"

I had to think on this one. I am going to go with no in this case.
While I couldn't come up with the origins of the phrase, it means trouble and not really a beverage. If it had said there was a kettle of hot water, I would take it. The difference being that your example is not meant to be a beverage.

Rabbit - a small television with rabbit ear antennaes?

Would a costume party work for costume?

[[deleted user]]

For the word "King"- does it literally have to refer to a King or could i use the author's name, Stephen King?

[Amy ~Lover of Books~]

For dog, does it only have to refer to the animal? Or will objects work?

[Dawn (Kat N Hat)]

Sheila wrote: "Rabbit - a small television with rabbit ear antennaes?"

animals can be real or fake so this will work.

[Dawn (Kat N Hat)]

❥☪LIZZ NEILL☪❥ wrote: "Would this work for planet

Yes.

[Dawn (Kat N Hat)]

❥☪LIZZ NEILL☪❥ wrote: "Would a costume party work for costume?"

I think it should be the actual costume worn at the party.

[Dawn (Kat N Hat)]

Yes it can be someone named King, so Stephen King would work.

Read or fake is fine, it just can't be the verb.

That sounds more like who he is being described, not that he was dressed up as someone else. So no.

[ShoSho]

Dawn , Is this acceptable for planet?

She opened a purse the size of a small planet, pulled out what looked like ...

[Katherine]

Thanks Dawn:)

Would this, tho work for costume:
Dressed for battle in a Lord of the Rings sort of way.

or, a stripper clothes work for a costume?

If you include sentences around those that implies it is not how the person normally dresses, they could work. If it is how the person normally dresses then it is not a costume.

Would a reference to a team mascot work for professional sport? It does mention the actual team too, 'Utah Jazz NBA team', but not players specifically.

Also, would 'gold mine' work for gold? It is an actual gold mine where the metal is mined.

Mention of the team... and the mascot for that mater would work.

and any gold will work, so both are fine.

For hot beverage: will coffee work? Or does it need to say hot coffee?

[Dawn (Kat N Hat)]

Melanie wrote: "For hot beverage: will coffee work? Or does it need to say hot coffee?"

I think generally coffee is served hot. There are those weird ones who like it iced, but ewwwww. Anyway normal coffee is served hot so I would go on the assumption that unless it is otherwise mentioned coffee is a hot beverage.

Tea is another story it would need to imply it was hot.
