Take me, sir. Take me hard.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Yeah had weird dream last night. New program on TV - CSI: Unsolved Mysteries. Every week they make an episode with the cast of one of the many CSI shows in which they never figure out who the perp is.

Just answer the phone -- a recruiter for Matt. Loud slightly shrill voice. At least she instantly decided to call his cell.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Ack! The interview will come after a grammar test! I always failed grammar! Intransitive things, and diagramming, and what is that tense!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Connie, relax, darling. You are a smart person who knows how to use language. They won't want you to name parts of speech, but they WILL want to know you can differentiate they're/there/their and effect/affect. Also that you know where to put commas. And that you can spot sentence fragments. You might also want to brush up on commonly misspelled words [link]

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
connie, I can promise you, in ten years of tech writing, it has never been important for me to be able to diagram a sentence.
Be prepared to rewrite something from passive voice to active voice. Scrappy's suggestions are also good. Make sure you can identify a comma splice.

Ha. Fragments. 2 of them, right?
Yes, I'll need to brush up the misspelled words.

OH, dear. A comma splice is supposed to be bad, right?
