No, I assure you, Shellz, it wasn't an overly warm day.

 

[Shellz]

I can't stop starring at that picture Snag!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Snag Breac]

I can't stop starring at that picture Snag!!!!!!!!!!!!

In that case I'll post some more later. So many parts of speech.......

 

[Shellz]

Speech never looked so good!!!

Dale Thomas (n.) is running (vb.) to muscle up his chicken legs (adj.).

Want me to compile some other pics for use? I'll be more across the board, but drool factor won't be sacrificed. Promise

Under no circumstances, ssfc! You do not appear to have grasped the scholarly nature of this thread. If, for example, Shellz returns to the photo of young Mr Didak, it is undoubtedly with the aim of formulating other, more challenging sentences based on that interesting image.

Interesting new, er, compound noun.

 

[ClarkeM]

Collingwood team mates carefully look around the grassy patch.

 

[ssfc0203]

Isn't teammates one word?

 

[ClarkeM]

Depends on how you like it.

 

[Snag Breac]

Collingwood team mates carefully look around grass patch.

You've done it again, Scotty; you've seen something that the rest of us didn't, but now that you've pointed that out - of course you're right.

 

[Godfrey Jones]

hahaha adsact. that made my day

 

[Snag Breac]

Isn't teammates one word?

An interesting one. An example of how words evolve. It seems it used to be 2 words - team mates- , then as it acquired a specialised meaning, it became a hyphenated word - team-mates- and now it's also used as a single word - teammates. I've checked one or two reliable publications, and all three forms appear to be used regularly, even in the same publication. So as Scotty says, it's up to you.

BTW, many missed opportunities to spell words correctly this week. Talent comes with only one L.

And whereas whereas is definitely one word, a lot is two words.

Other Abused Words of the Week:

century
confident
successful
association
awful (aweful suggests something else entirely)
received (how many times Lord?)

 

[Snag Breac]

It's inconsistent and inconsistency, fgs!

All Collingwood barrackers need to be able to spell these words. They should be burned into our brains.

Inconsistent is an adjective. It describes a noun. It describes Collingwood.

Ok. That was my grammar rant. I don't feel better,but it had to be done.

 

[Godfrey Jones]

did you just mispell ****?

Abused Words of the Week:

year 12 English SACT, one of my classmates wrote self esteem as

self of steam

 

[Snag Breac]

did you just mispell ****?

Take a detention, God. You know perfectly well that there's no smoking in this thread. I suppose I really wanted to write FFS, but chose instead a small ejaculation, "For God's Sake." Apt that it should be you to pick up on it, God.

Oh, and in case you're even now querying the use of one word above, it's an entirely valid usage.

Thanks, Footy 5. That is an utter gem. So hot it's steaming.

I've never heard it, but am happy to have such a howler recorded in this thread for all time.

The Parts of Speech - Part 4
Pronouns​

A pronoun is a word used instead of a noun which has already been mentioned. We often use pronouns to avoid repetition.​

E.g.​

This is Rocca (noun). He (pronoun) is taking a mark.
He (pronoun) is a great player.​

This is Collingwood (noun) at work. They (pronoun) are slaughtering Freo.

 

[RRRooocccaaa]

He (pronoun) is performing a move not even Kouta would dare on 'Celebrity Dancing'. That's some pelvic melvic!

(And I like how the Freo player has assumed the kind of pose that one of the Tony Bartuccio dancers would have done as they turned their attention on the star of the show).
