LOL - what a neat post! (I am not an official member of the Grammar Police unit here...so I won’t tell them about the run-on sentence...).
Thank you for those added suggestions about the piano thing.
What good ideas!
Yes, practice, practice, practice - that was ANOTHER reason I dropped piano when I was 11. Hopefully I have overcome that aversion to practicing piano.
Thanks for the advice and God bless you and enable you to take that violin out of the case again soon!
My pet grammar peeve is not very unique.
“You know you FReep too much when:”
I’m listening to XM radio this morning before I get outta bed (putting off finishing the last term paper), and what show comes on? Fibber McGee and Molly . Their whole show is about grammar...and all I can think about while I’m listening to it is this thread!
Fibber trashes the language so badly, and all they can do is go on about “split infinitives” and I’m thinking who even knows or cares about them anymore? And then I remember the kerfluffle when the show writers for LOST said that “whom” was a word not needed anymore.
At that point, I decided God was telling me to get out of bed at the ripe old hour of 5:30 and get the written final project and the oral presentation and the website reviews done. But I couldn’t stop laughing about this thread!
Now, you get up and start playing some Easter Music!! Your family will love the practice. My family would kill me if I got the violin out at this hour!
