Wash ,'War Stories'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
Fully 90% of errors are sentence boundaries. How the hell do I teach that crap?
If you figure it out, let me know, because I know many adults in the business world who have sentence boundary problems. I am SO tired of getting e-mails that read "If you would send me the notes from the Smith article."
And all I want to do is scream "If...WHAT?!?!?"
If what? That's it? If and here's a million dollars? If and here's your own spaceship?
Maybe they mean "if you would, send me stuff"? And left out the please?
I think we diagrammed sentences for a week in middle school. Like, total five hours.
I didn't figure out what direct and indirect objects were until Spanish class!
Maybe they mean "if you would, send me stuff"? And left out the please?
Hmmm. That usage sounds too formal for them. Possibly they mean, that, although I think they mean "If you would send me stuff, that would be great." Because it sounds like a nicer way of saying "Send me stuff now, you slacker."
everything i know about grammar i learned in Latin. No, really. Then during the single week in high school when we diagrammed sentences, i totes aced the diagramming, since only the Latin students knew the difference between an object and a preposition. It was sad.
I love diagramming sentences. It makes English mathy!
Oh! That explains why I hate diagramming sentences. It's all so clear, now.
J.K. Rowling started the website Pottermore.com. All it says so far is "Coming soon ..." [link]
Happy Bloomsday!
What? Sentence diagraming and Joyce? Peanut butter and jelly.
Finished Feed. Damn.
I don't think I've ever diagrammed a sentence. My grammar skills are crap.
I didn't mind diagramming sentences, but Universal Grammar diagramming makes the baby Jesus cry. Well, it did me.
