  2. This. I'm lucky - I'm definitely a "natural" at writing. It's easy for me. But if I think back to what really tightened up my writing - it was good teaching and lots and lots of practice. Learning not only to write but to edit (my work and the work of others) has helped me to strengthen my own work. That started junior year of high school when each quarter we'd have four papers to do on various topics. For each paper, the first draft went to a peer for review. The second draft was the edited version based on your peer's feedback. That was the draft that went to the teacher. She could accept it as is, or give it back for revisions. This process repeated until she accepted the paper, or until you hit five drafts. At that point, you moved onto the next paper in the sequence. That process of writing, editing, and rewriting was frustrating* but also hugely valuable (and much more like the "real world" applications of writing that I use today, where things I write are reviewed and edited multiple times). Then I went to college and joined the newspaper so I was constantly writing with space limitations, under deadline. Being able to tell a story in that format was also good discipline - you don't have a lot of space most of the time but you've got to get a lot of information in. *I should add this was in the olden days of the 80s when not a lot of us had word processors or PCs at home to do our work, so every rewrite involved completely retyping or rewriting. Yup! Did this in high school! The very nature of having an essay peer reviewed provided the initiative to actually produce something of value. We had a " 1 up " contest going, always trying to one-up each other. I agree 100% that the best way to improve your basic english skill-set is to get some tutoring. Sentence structure and composition is simply a matter of understanding the true usage of verbs, adjectives, pronouns, nouns to name a few, and how they can convey a theory or essay. Good Luck, Half-Way to 'A' and lovin' them blue skies... and women with pretty blue eyes... & ... "EH?"

  5. While I agree with you that Lutz's most eggregious behavior was his attitude about who's fault it was and his eagerness to put the video on every TV show that would show it, his actions of pulling the cutaway handle instead of the main handle, and his choice of landing area are still well below par. And to the OP - I've never heard of "Frosted Stupid" for breakfast. I've had my share of "Stupid-O's", but never Frosted Stupid. Does the commercial have some kind of big cat saying something like "They're Rrrrrrrretarded!"? LOL.... >>>heads for a cloth to clean the screen of dripping coffee spewed forth at such great humor for this time of day... LOL...
