I am kind of from the "self-taught" school on English Composition. This year Alex asked me for help on prepositions, adverbs, subjective whatevers etc. I told him I would "help" but we would be learning it together.
Old joke: Younger brother: "Who's that you're going out with?" Older brother: "Don't you know you're never supposed to end your sentences with a preposition, you idiot?" Younger brother: "OK, who's that you're going out with, dickhead?"

Wonder who HE's cuddled up with? (I know, I know, never end sentences with a preposition.)
Impressed!

"But, dad you write!"
Half the time I say "proposition" instead of "preposition."
I suppose that would be a whole different tutoring session for Alex, eh?
Happy New Year!

Sorry, couldn't resist.
We are getting a little "preppie" here for some reason.
Makes me want to go out and watch "Pretty in Pink".
Happy New Year!
Hilarious, Al! :)
I had to think about "preppie" for a second. What can I say? I'm getting older by the minute.
Happy New Year!!
