Okay, so I use Wikipedia as a research tool because it went rather well with my ancient history text. Of course my text was my first resource, Wikipedia after and then I'd try and find a site that had other information for me to...

There are two schools of thoughts: Grammar is important part of a language, so it must be taught as a single subject; it's the fundamentals. Grammar is not important, it should be taught in context, not as a subject on its own in...

Swashbuckle Reading this message I would never have thought that you didn't know English. Of course, the teaching methods vary, you can't just make a kid learn. *lol* But I am glad to see that you taught yourself, that is something to be admired. I don't pay...

Swashbuckle I stear away from anyone with a freaking run on sentence! I had to decode and label which word was what, and if you can't figure out what a freaking verb is, than don't bother writing a book. That's my view on it. Now, if you can write in a way that I can...

Swashbuckle The thing here is that people do not speak as they write. If you heard me speaking, I doubt you'd get half the things I say. Which is why I write more than I speak to people anyway.

Swashbuckle I grew up with 'English' which is basically grammar/spelling/other writing being taught as I whole. I learned how to look words up in a dictionary, how to write letters to a business and where to put an apostraphe, though I must admit that part is still a bit...

Swashbuckle Thank you. No, not this one. This one is just practice for a voice that I want to use. Just practice. Thanks for letting me know. I didn't know that there was a private forum.

Swashbuckle This is just disgusting! attacking kids is the worst thing anyone could do, verbally or physically. These people should be dragged out into the street and shot! Okay, so I profess to not be a fan of Michael Jackson. I get that he was a huge pop star and...

Swashbuckle Opal, Yes, I do see your point and I agree with it. I think, now I am not sure, but I think that I saw on the news or on the net that she asked her kids if they wanted her to continue on in being governor and they all voted it down. I think that her kids are...

Swashbuckle Thank you for corecting me. Me and my siblings have some learning challenges, not like Down Syndrom, but we understand what Palin and her family is trying to deal with to some extent.

Swashbuckle I agree. You don't see anyone attacking the Obama children, so I think that all politicians children should be left alone.

Swashbuckle Oh yeah. I don't agree with Mom on everything either. I guess that I just don't like to fight. Its not that my parents are strict, these kids are getting away with more than I did when I was their age. Mom doesn't care much about hair styles but she doesn't...

Swashbuckle I give him EF! Epic Fail - because he keeps thinking that throwing money at the problem is going to fix it. Well, no, its not going to fix it. We've been there, rode the rollercoaster and didn't even get a dinky t-shirt! *lol*
