The Typo Eradication Advancement League:
This March through May, we, sworn members of TEAL, will be taking a road trip around the [USA] to stamp out as many typos as we can find, in public signage and other venues where innocent eyes may be befouled by vile stains on the delicate fabric of our language. We [...]
With the handing in of assignment three, and the final lecture, semester one finished last night for me.
I received assignment two back, and was rather surprised to receive 22 out of 30 — far better than I had expected. So far, I have an 85% average, so, barring any major catastrophe with assignment three, [...]
As the Les Mis entry below proved rather popular, I give you something I stumbled across…the joy and bounty of the Internet!
Lego Les Mis
The final assignment for the one subject I am doing this semester is due Thursday. It has been keeping me rather busy of late. It is a group assignment, and I do have a good group: but I still do prefer individual efforts. I know lecturers, markers, tutors, etc. do have [...]
I had a basic idea of what the the musical was about, but I definitely was not expecting to be blown away by the songs as much as I was: as was the friend who went with me. A wide variety of songs, ranging from the downright silly and hilarious, to the most moving [...]

Glory to Him who granted you a crown!
Glory to Him [...]
After BodyJam [I do like the new routine: a lot of flair; a lot of grand, sweeping movements, and a lot of fun] it was to a friend’s place to make some pizza…from scratch [well, we had the base: we added toppings and cooked the thing].
Great fun: not only the deciding what to put on, [...]
No, not the TV programme…the delicious [to my mind; certain colleagues don't agree] Rosemary and Thyme Potato Chips. Oh well, more for me.
Love them. Beautiful chips: I can really taste the potato, they are not oily or salty — and then there is the wonderful taste of rosemary and thyme. I’ll be [...]
I will admit that a structured, regular prayer life is something I am still yet to achieve. And, at times, I can get out a “Lord, help me!” and that is it: but I trust in the mercy and grace of God, who knows my weaknesses, and knows my intentions — even if they [...]
A fun lesson last night: and a very useful one — directions: asking and giving.
The sun and moon letters also made a reappearance, forcing my poor brain to attempt to dredge up memories long forgotten. Which category a letter falls into impact pronunciations of words when they are preceded by an article: the sun [...]
