I was raised without serial commas so when I'm typing I tend to avoid them but I have to admit they seem to enhance comprehension.
This is me. I learned my commas back in the '60s and '70s, was the fashion different then? And I learned to spell judgement with the e in the middle. Perhaps the Pennsylvania School System had Loyalist leanings.
God, maths homework was my favourite. What's with you people?
Maybe maths homework is more fun? Math sucks.
Erin, what about The Tick? Both he and Beowulf are a bit ham-handed with their heroing ways.
I learned no serial comma, but use it now because it does aid with comprehension a good portion of the time, and doesn't hurt the rest of the time. I spell judgement with the e, as is right and proper, and often behaviour and other ior words with the u as well. I did, in about 8th grade, stop writing theatre on purpose.
I use theater for where you go to see a movie and theatre for live shows as is right and proper.
Deena, yes! Thank you so much for the cookbook. I am so far behind on thank you notes.
I'm not good at math and I always dreaded math in school. I had issues with paying attention and double checking my work (no matter the subject but it really hurts in math), reversing numbers ( and letters), trouble visualizing amounts and lengths, plus I missed a lot of school when I was younger.** So then when I got older I had all those problems plus not having a strong foundation in math.
Fractions and percentages just about killed.
- *This didn't hurt as much in other subjects where I could read what I needed to catch up.
TCG made dinner tonight and now we're enjoying red wine and lavender chocolate. It's a good day.
I had dinner with Dad tonight we went to a local restaurant because I saw on their website tonight they had quail. Dad likes quail.
I forgot to make a reservation but we got the last open seat. Dad had Sausage-Hazelnut stuffed Quail with Pear apple chutney, grits and homemade Worcestershire sauce (which he didn't like). And a Beet and orange salad.
I had this awesome salad I'm calling Breakfast Salad - poached egg, bacon lardons, croutons, cheese, warm bacon -onion dressing. YUM. And Lobser Arancini with scallop and fennel and parsley. It was good I never had arancini but it's fried rice balls.
Then for dessert they teased us with Meyer lemon tarts w/blackberry sauce, the lemons were grown on the property. Only they were out. So Dad had guava cheese cake and I had this apple tart that was nice but a wee bit dry.
Brendan Fraser really has the perfect square-shaped head for his part in Gods and Monsters.
