Hey, if it's valid for the UK's examination boards...Literature, not language...LOL!
I will have to concede on that point.History abounds with mavericks that decided to fly in the face of accepted norms and grammar, and do whatever they wished. In their day, they were pariahs. Today, they are the great masters of literature.

It simply seemed like the logical conclusion to draw from that remark.Originally posted by Chanak
Hitting below the belt, are we?
Indeed, without constant supervision, the student can get completely out of control...Hmmm...let me say that one's education reflects the classroom instruction that one received. The higher the quality, the more well-rounded the student. The lower the quality...well, you know where American English came from, now don't you?
And lazy, even, missing out letters all over the place... But does that justify deriving the spelling of the verb from the adjective? That's just crazy talk!I can always resort to this: Labour. Laborious? ???

Are you sure you shouldn't be checking out the newly refurbished home for the depraved ? Indeed, without constant supervision, the student can get completely out of control...
Especially when the teacher is too busy curling her lashes to pay attention to her class. - and what you have is a more accurate representation, sans trifling blah-blah-blah. But of course there is one. Just ask Ode... No, wait, he's probably the wrong person to ask.Originally posted by Mr Flibble

Oh, I agree. Especially when the teacher is too busy curling her lashes to pay attention to her class.
They aren't tiresome to include when that's how you know they're supposed to be.But I digress. Really, is it a matter of semantics, or phonetics? Literature, or language? Cabbage, or rutabaga?

Then you would just have the witticism part to work onPosted by Aegis:

You may have been arguing, good sir, but you have been nice all the same. They aren't tiresome to include when that's how you know they're supposed to be.
I don't argue very often. Originally posted by Chanak

Oh, you'd know if you had... *hug* Now that you're the official supplier for DW's house for the deranged, are you going to start researching psychological torture methods? By far the best, you know. Don't tell anyoneOriginally posted by Chanak
