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 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.

Okay, I don't know about anyone else, I may be upset that people are terribly unfair to Palin, but I wish that they would quit harping on her kids. Especially her child with Autism. I think it horrible that some in the media...

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.

Okay, The answere here is obvious "Because they are teenagers and they rebel" - I think I did so as a teenager, but just recently I have talked to my sister and she insists that I was a goody-two-shoes. So, I listen to my parents...

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 would like to point out, that no matter how good a person can speak, that doesn't make them the right person for the job.

Swashbuckle POTC reminded me of my 'love' for JD. He is mostly my muse when it comes to my writing. I particularly love Captain Jack Sparrow, and thank heaven that Zack Effron isn't going to be in the 4th movie, because he'd have ruined it beyond repair! *lol*

Swashbuckle I cried when JD dies in "From Hell" there is an alternate ending to the movie as well when he's an older man and dies as well. That movie is one of my favorites because it is dark and I like history and no one has ever been able to solv the Jack the Ripper...

Swashbuckle That's the only part of the movie I watch. Otherwise I totally cannot stand it becaue the writing and the plot is so stupid. I really wished that they had furthered the plot, it was a good premise but the way they executed it was just horrible and not even JD...
