They changed the rules a while back, it used to be if you placed 1st, 2nd or3rd in a level you had to move up (except moving to Masters for that you have to earn 3 EC) But they discovered that some people might be moving up before they were ready. So now the rule is if you place 1st in levels 1 or 2...

Oh ya tricked me! I knew Deb was flying on Thurs and Know there's a time change so I've been quite patient, then you went and tricked me :shock:

Of course, I'm tricked quite easily! So really it's no big deal. Waiting just makes it all the more fun. :D

Thank you for pointing out one of my biggest pet peeves. I hope you don't mind if I add this additional point. Hopefully I won't confuse people more, but since you made me so happy by pointing out my pet peeve... but if you are using the verb to be (is, are, am) then often the nominitive case is swi...

Assignment #1 Wrigley and the Fielding Family's Final Cherry Pit Spit Fit I like it; although it doesn't show all of the quirks in this family. I know Wrigley's last name is Fielding and the reader would if they had read a Wrigley story before. Any parent that is wacky enough to name her child Wrigl...

I think the main problem was not matching the tenses up properly, but I also believe the generalizations of everyone and we don't work well in something meant for anyone to read. Getting the singular subject with the singular predicate or something fancy like that that means match up the different p...

Re: Mystery Lesson

Can you detect the errors in these sentences? I’ll not do the “lesson proper” until I get some feedback. (If you're all correct, maybe I won’t need to cover this.) If someone is going to another country, it’s important that they get a passport. Do we all have a passport? Has everybody got their pas...

Now that many of us have shared words that have been pronounced with a bit flair. I must admit, I'm often found myself in the predicament where most of my new words come from the written word, so I sound it out in my head. If I don'5t know the meaning I would always look it up. But since I was taugh...

I know that my yellow boxes as been perceived as too harsh at times, and there have been many times that I've backed away from leaving them, not wanting to hurt anyone's feelings. It's difficult to leave constructive critique on an anonymous entry, not knowing if the writer's mistakes are a chronic...

Does someone send a "Welcome to FaithWriters" e-mail? I wonder if they could include "directions" to this class. Hmmmmmmm..... I try to be diligent when it comes to welcoming the newbies. I usually try to add a few paragraphs, telling what the site offers, invite them to hang ou...

My grandmother used to play the card game Solitary. I misused it for years until I was old enough to understand my mom's explanation that it was Solitaire and it wouldn't be right to correct Grandma. The vegetable rutabaga was always pronounced rootabaggie. It didn't stop me from eating them but I'm...
