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...

You started this thread the week I was in the hospital so I didn't really have a chance until today, but in reference to this: TODAY’S QUICK TAKE: Shoulda, woulda, coulda What about "kind of" I use that frequently and my gut tells me it's not correct, but like you said we write like we tal...

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...
