Joanna, ever since i talked with you and your hubby, it seems that my life
has been a bit brighter. At 85, I don’t go a lot but enjoy people anyway. My comment about my late teacher is right on. She even went to school with my mother. She wouldn’t let us get away with any bad writing. I pray for her every night, of course, I pray for many people. I think of it as responding to God’s work through those around us.
Pat, I am happy to hear that things are better. I don’t doubt that your praying for other people comes right back in the form of prayers for you. And it makes me happy to know you are out there, thinking of ways to make life better for all of us.
My second grade teacher made the grammar simple, for my second grade self. She said, leave out the other noun, such as another person or animal. She didn’t bother with direct objects or the object of a preposition, which still momentarily confuses me.
My late English teacher would be so happy to see this post.
Share with her! And give her a pat on the back!

Here’s a pet peeve: “would of” when it should be “would’ve.” 🥴
Yes, and I am guilty of doing that verbally.
Verbally, who can tell the difference? But grammatically, it makes all the difference! 😉
Love the use of the word cloud!
I learned in college journalism classes that your friend is absolutely correct about the use of “more than” and “over”.
I love this distinction!

I had a great Latin teacher. She really helped me! And yes, that “trick” about leaving out one noun, works!
New friend for Jax?
