I cannot stay long this morning, as I have errands to run, but I simply must make a quick comment regarding this Thread.
While I am always very pleased to see that there are members trying to improve their language skills, I hardly think that posting a few fancy words from a dictionary and providing definitions are what I had in mind!! HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean, I do appreciate the effort but I should think that , if we truly want to improve our writing, we should further examine our STRUCTURE as well as spelling, grammar and punctuation! As an example;
And it so happens that languages and linguistics is a passion with me ... Very nice, however, when one employs plurals (languages AND linguistics) one would use the plural combining form "are" to express the state of being or possession. Also, when using contractions, we must remember that a contraction is a shortening of a word or word group and needs to include the proper word abbreviation to be accurate. Example ; You'll find that I am.. not you'l. You are contracting (shortening) the word "will" and are required to use both "l"s for the contraction to be properly completed.
Sorry to pick on you, Nicky but this IS your Thread! HAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!! It's nice to see interest in "languages" and "linguistics", however, I am really hoping to see improvement in our structure first!!! Pulling words from a dictionary is far too easy. HAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAAA!!!!!!!!! (*Kisses* and "brotherly" love). HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
