yeah but English grammar can get to be quite a jones in itself... great language, English. and if only its native speakers were shown that at school they might find learning other people's languages rather more easy rather than being even more lazy and ignorant communicating with them.
The lack of languages teaching (as opposed to single-language teaching) in UK schools is an absolute disgrace. Basically, it means that those people who are linguistically talented have to be very lucky to get any education at all, as that particular talent is neglected not only in itself but also to the extent to which it can be a foundation for other learning.

that's one of the most fun ways you can be taught non-defining relative clauses..
You mean other than meeting Santa's nameless family that is?

Well, this thread has taken another funny turn. I'm having one myself, so I'm off to bed.
Mattress - yes. Matches - no.

No, you can't. Out of interest, why would you want to?

Is this like the joke about the elephant in the Safeway's bag?

I'm intrigued now, all that before was just ennui.

The police don't care about spelling, you have to call the witch-hunters for that.

Q: How do you get an elephant into a Safeway's bag?
A: You take the 'S' out of 'Safe' and the 'F' out of 'Way'.
Q: But there's no 'F' in 'Way'.... -

Sorry, I didn't want to come across all high and mighty in that last post (although that is now where I am forced to shop), and I know its all been said already in a more eloquent and succinct fashion.
BUT... There are plenty of times I've feel angry and frustrated at drivers in near miss situations. I've wanted to leave them with a lasting impression of my presence, that would hopefully make them think twice the next time they were about to pull out something "special" out the bag. Although I think this is probably best done in other ways, and deliberately crashing into someone is probably just going to make things worse in the long run. Sorry to interrupt the good humor of the thread, just wanted opinions in the mixer.

No, you can. Out of interest, why wouldn't you want to? ;)

and I'm not narrow minded just because I disagree with people driving such vehicles, it's my opinion that they are , in this modern age, unnecessary and on the whole, selfish.
got a problem with that?
No, but I disagree with you.
Disturbingly quick with that image, Oliver.
