Tricks for remembering English rules

If you logged in rather than posting as Anonymous, you could edit it and fix it after you see it. That bugs me more than the mistake itself; the fact that it's cast in stone forever now.

So, how about signing up and getting your own user name?

"Joe's bar and grill, Larry's language, it's scope ... {sigh}

Because you are mixing proper nouns and pronouns. A better way to remember is Hi's bar a grill, he'r language, it's scope... er, huh? His/her/its form a set.

the fact that it's cast in stone forever now. Huh? This software. Electronic bits and bytes. And there are janitors (not to mention gods). I reckon we are the only monastery ever to have a dungeon stuffed with 16,000 zombies.	[reply]

Even stone is not forever. Erosion, subduction, solar evolution, heat death of the universe.	[reply]
