Language & Grammar discussion

Don't ask how I found this list of interactive grammar quizzes...but for those of us learning, updating, or polishing our facility with the English language, it could prove to be a useful online reference.

What a great title for a thread!

"What a great title for a thread!"

Thank you, M (bows low, sweeping off plumed hat). High praise, indeed.

Sorry about the content let-down! :D

Don't give up on the content! My doctor has told me to avoid all things serious, so I must scrupulously avoid learning more about grammar. Whenever something this way comes, however, it's usually something wicked, and I can have all I want of that.

thank you, thank you, thank you!

"thank you, thank you, thank you!"

(makes another low bow). Your most humble servant, my lady.

It's brilliant!

(sweeps the floor with plumed hat in Sandy's direction). My lady, you are too kind.

Yes, a great title indeed!

But, alas, I, as M, must avoid any addition of serious stimuli!

Juggling with both hands and two feet at the moment.

But Kudos to you for creating this thread!

Some great stuff attached to those links! :-)

Omigawd. All the stuff I didn't learn in school.

My Swedish great-grandfather was living in Melbourne in a time before social security. He had a wife and three young children (more came later) and fell upon hard times. Being very artistic, he used his skills to create fake coins. However, he was found out and imprisoned. The crime was "uttering coins."
So be careful talking about money! Lol.

I knew Jan had an interesting background! Her great-grandfather was a counterfeiter.

Mine were bootleggers.

With any luck, they left some buried in the cellar!

Oh M, if only you knew! By the way M, did you know one of your neighbours almost got a mention in word of the day?

Really? Is it the actor who has a house across the lake?

Nah it was Maud

I've heard rumors of horse thieves in my ancestral legacy....aren't we the motley bunch???

I use to have a customer who was kin to Cole Younger.

My great-grandfather owned a row of houses, at the turn of the last century, in Pitt St, Sydney. He was something of a betting man, I'm told. The reason why the houses are no longer in the family is not because of cards, but a keg of rum. Also the reason why my great-grandmother divorced him.

Jana a bad penny is a counterfeit, (false) coin. In the old days when a penny could buy a lunch for 4, if you ..."

thank you, no it made perfect sense.

But not perfect cents!

I like the clothes they have on! People wear such awful clothes these days.

You seriously must eyeball this !

Wow!!! How do I bookmark it?
