I'm looking for....

[belly_ttt]

1) I'm looking for a noun that desbribe this process:
You use too much dose of a kind of drug that the viruses in your body get used to it.

2) I'm looking for a verb here:
You are from another country, if you want to settle down in America, your relatives must____ so that you are eligible to come over there for immigration.

3) What is the difference between / Ou/ and /O/? How different when people pronounce Rico with an /o/ and an /O/ ?

4) A man who was run over by a car has his entrails a mess. Is there any adj replace for "a mess" in this sentence? ( they are badly run over and people can't realize their shape anymore because they have been twisted so much)

Thanks in advance

1. Microorganisms become tolerant to drugs, or they adapt or habituate to them. Viruses becoming immune to drugs is heard, but that's only in the sense that one would say "I've become immune to her insults".
2. apply ?
3./oʊ/ as in bone, go, toe, mow, throw. /o/ is an Italian o generally not used in English. For a short o as in "dog", /dɒg/(BrE) /dɑg/ (AmE).
That's in IPA. What system are you using which has an o and and an O?
4. This could be someone's attempt at a construction similar to awry, asunder. But it's wrong.

I really don't know at the #4, but is there any real difference between O and o? By the way, I can't see your IPA symbol all it appears is just a square

1) develop resistance to the drug

2) sponsor

4) gory/gruesome

Really, sorry about that. I'll use the phonetic typewriter.
/oʊ/ is what you want for bone, toe, etc.
"dog" is /dɒg/ in BrE and /dɑ:g/ in AmE.

In English O is a capital o. There is no difference in pronunciation. But I thought you were using some pronunciation system (like IPA, but not IPA) in which O and o could have different meanings.

tedtmc, yes "resistance" is also a good word.

In http://<i>Pronouncing English: A Str...5/15-2199.html(Georgetown University Press. 2004), the authors Richard V. Teschner and Stanley M. Whitley
mention the diphthongal quality of /O/ (''turned c'' as in saw) in dialects such as New York City English.
