Mad,

Because your banner is too big, I cannot see your whole post. Sorry. I'm not sure what you're asking.
Fuck this place. Second rate hack playing in a yard that's too big for him.

There's no reason to capitalize after a comma, unless it's a proper noun. A proper noun is an actual name, like Luna.

Dear Mr Head,

I have just seen a very disappointing use of the word, 'you're' and it was incorrectly used by someone who should know better. Please help this miseducated, MOM find his way in life.

Many thanks.

Pupil Psycho !!

Hey there, Bell! I know this thread isn't as active as it used to be, but things tend to do that when they get old (MOM is a big exception). I'm still around, not too sure about PH. Was there something you wanted to ask in particular?

No, nothing in particular.
What I would like is to get better at your language and this thread was even if it was mostly for fun a really good thread to learn things.

I know that you, Gary (PH), and probably a few others like Mac have a lot to give to us who aren't that good at your language.
I thought that if I bumped it up it would come to life again.

I'm far better in speaking english then I am in writing it.
Often I get to rewrite things just because I get stuck on a word I can't spell.

Too many times I come to the forum to see people getting confused between two of the forms of "to/too/two"

It seems like few mistakes are made about 2 = two.
But people frequently switch to/too.

The easy way to remember is that when something is "too much" or if you want to include an additional item such as "Me too"; there is an extra 'o'.

The "to" with a single 'o' is the preposition used between a verb and a noun where you are moving something. Example: "I'm going to Vimy" or it can be used before a verb to indicate what action you're going to take "I'm going to go now" I think of it as being efficient in your movements. ;)

I'd be telling a lie if I said I didn't still hold some animosity over the hijacking of this thread. Anders, I do appreciate the fact you and a few other got something from the thread. In my nonexistent free time, I'll try to throw a few things here when I can. If I were nearly as proficient at a second language as you are, I'd be very proud of myself. I've decided to learn a new language next year and know I'd appreciate any assistance I could get. Shooting for conversational Arabic. That should be challenging enough.

I know this is english class, but I think we need a little bit of biology too, or at least need an english session about biology.
If you translate from swedish it would be that fishes "play" to reproduce.
I guess that would be as wrong to say as to say that a fish is pregnant, isn't it?
