Red color is my questions

My commemt about BBC discussion
I didn't mean to post the assignmet deleyed.
I have tried hard to figure out some questions which I really didn't know,
not just ask quesitions about some certain situations.
I've got answers in previous days, but I hope I can post more questions.
I thought the deadline was on Sunday, so I didn't post my questions and comments.
( = .............. = ")
I post four questions on the BBC.
One question is about phonetics, but no one answer this question.
I really want to know the answer.
The first quesition
I have a queation about phonetics.
Does British English use r-colored when they pronunce the words such as board and poor nowadays?
In the past, living in the rural producing r-colored is much more than living in the urban?
Is it right?
Using r-colored is living in the high class or low class?
Thank you.
The second question
It has the same meaning in the some day and some day,
but "some day" really doesn't have a different meaning if some become an adjective?
(!!!!????)
"some day" and "someday"
What is mean between the two words?
I want to know how to use the two words?
Do they have different usages in a sentence?

Hello WuDonna, someday? and some day? ave the same meaning
(at some time in the future even though you do not know when)
and same usage but are sometimes written as one word and sometimes as two.

The third question
The sentence I've read is from an English magazine which is called ALL+
The teacher said the sentence is wrong, so I didn't know if it is true or not.
(!!!!????)
"Many of the foods chocolate is in should only be enjoyed in moderation.
"Does someone know the structure of the sentence?
is in should only be?????
Thank You.

Not one of the author's brightest moments, I dare say.
Try reading the sentence like this;
"Many of the foods that contain chocolate should only be enjoyed in moderation."
The forth question
I ususally get confused when I am writing a piece of an article.
So I ask a question to know the exact usage in writing.
I think the definition is good for me.
in the end of: means finally, after a period of time... It is similar to eventually...
at the end of: I guess this phrase usually comes with OF something.
I want to know the usage of "in the end" and "at the end"?
Do they have different usage in a sentence?
Thank You.

Hi WuDonna,
"In the end" tells you what happened after some thought, or uncertainty or change:
In the end, you'll just have to pay your debts.
I couldn't decide whether to have chocolate cake or mouse, so in the end I had both!"
At the end" just tells you where or when something is:
I go on holiday at the end of the week. My house is at the end of the street.

Use it when you are saying what happens after everything has been discussed or thought about.
I planned to go to India but in the end I stayed home.
We listened to what the students had to say and decided they were right in the end.
At the end? means the final part (of a period of time/ a distance/an event)?
It is usually at the end of?
The troll lives at the end of the road.
They shook hands at the end of the interview.
I found out who the murderer was at the end of the book.

Dear WuDonna!
I think the two phrases have to be used differently.
1. At the end OF the story/ at the end of the day/ at the end of the lesson...
I guess this phrase usually comes with OF something.
2. In the end we went home/ We were in a hurry but in the end we managed to catch the bus...
I hope all my examples are correct and I could help you!
Have a nice evening!

BBC message board is useful for me to ask English questions.
Before I know the website, I usually go the "Imformation+" or "Google" to see if someone has the same English problem with me and I rarely ask a question on the Internet, but I think the website can get teacher's answers and it is raletively more accurate than other people's anwers on the other websites. Teachers is fun and interesting. I think I will use the website if I have any questions about English.

You are really working-hard. What you have asked match mine to some extent. I believe you'll be successful someday.
Donna,
Wow, a lot of questions. Don't worry about the delay; it's o.k.
As to your 1st questin, I don't quite understand what your question is. Maybe you could come and talk to me after class so we could talk about it. o.k.?
