I don't know but it sounds like the test caused you more stress. Maybe one way to avoid stress is for you not to take stress tests...?

I was reading an article and came across the word "avex" and I cannot find it in the English dictionary.

Can someone please tell me... What does "avex" mean?
11 Mar 2005, 04:49 #374
its the name of the record company that signs jpop stars. kinda like geffen, death row, etc. a user here called ushiroyubi (sp?) would know a LOT more about that...

the article sounds weird then, cuz it said: "avex a wife and children"

What does that suppose to mean???????

could it be a missprint? was it written by a french person? (AVEC (the c is right next to the x) means "with" in french...) you may have to provide more detail than just that phrase...

:( that is all I remember from the article and the entire article was in English.

i think you may be right, it most likely may be a misprint. ahhhhhhhhh... then in must mean "with" :puppydog:

Thank you very much for your help.

I believe that means "A large Japanese record company a wife and children."

makes perfect sense, IMO.

i was able to find the article and the sentence says "he favors roles as a salaryman, avec a wife and children."

the writer is a japanese writer and he wrote the article in English.
but i still couldn't find the word "avec" in any English paper dictionaries nor online dictionaries.

thanks for everyone's help in defining this word for me. greatly appreciate it.
