Hello, I’m an old online friend of Kirby’s from back when we both wrote in a start trek related online game.

Lovely to read a fellow Grammar Geek.

I’m also a Geek of Punctuation and have really enjoyed a book called The New Well-Tempered Sentence, which, for me, was very reminiscent of Lynne Truss.

Oh my goodness, MrsBranches! That is simply amazing. What a great enunciation exercise and I think it will work great for the drama class we run!

Hank-goo,

I love Lynne Truss, I’m partway through her followup book on manners. Also great, but another topic.

I especially like to point out usage of quotation marks. We were in a restaurant that claimed it’s sandwiches were ‘”Fresh” and “Healthy”‘. Not really appetizing…

Here’s a link to that book I mentioned awhile back. It’s called Anguish Languish. It’s especially fun to read aloud (Meaning a good brain and tongue workout – take a look and see).

P.S. – I made some quick edits to your grammar before it went live. Their/they’re, and some typos.
