<p>Thanks. </p>
<p>Best wishes to you!</p>
<p>thanks :]
i have a feeling that i'll know either way by about 4 o'clock est .</p>
<p>Definately!</p>
<p>you mean definitely.</p>
<p>(Pet peeve) :)</p>
<p>yeah it surprised me last year how many eighth graders at my school couldn't spell that word .
it was on every spelling list since the beginning of the school year to get people to study it .</p>
<p>Oh, man. Typing error! (or brain error)</p>
<p>My pet peeve is when people misuse the words really and very.</p>
<p>Also, when people say seperate. It's SEPARATE. I had a fight with my history teacher about this and my entire class defended him...haha and I was the one who freakin knew how to spell the word...</p>
<p>dancer---when "really" and "very" are eliminated, writing usually improves!</p>
<p>i did the same thing in math class with vertices in 7th grade .
the teacher thought it was verteces .
i got outed because i was the one who challenged him .
since then , i figure it's okay to know how to spell , but i shouldn't correct the teacher about it .</p>
<p>btw, dancer, congrats on the Andover acceptance!</p>
<p>I had a college prof who told the class to avoid high cholesterol foods like peanut butter. I promptly pointed out that cholesterol only came from animal fats and there was none in peanut butter. </p>
<p>I still got an A! (It was a marketing class!)</p>
<p>I hate it. My English teacher doesn't even know the difference between really and very.</p>
<p>God bless whoever takes the time to read and learn from this post.</p>
<p>"really" means truly and is an adverb.</p>
<p>"very" means extremely and is an adjective.</p>
<p>They have DIFFERENT positioning in sentences. </p>
<p>"You did really well at soccer today, Jennifer!" -WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!</p>
<p>Change "really" to "very." </p>
<p>OR put really in position to be an adverb which adds emphasis.</p>
<p>"You really did well at soccer today, Jennifer!"</p>
<p>^It is now in adverb position and is telling you the truth, not the extent to which she played soccer.</p>
<p>i always thought that very was an adverb.
cuz you can say "so and so is VERY beautiful "
and the very modifies the beautiful giving it a degree.
=/</p>
<p>it is an adverb in some cases...</p>
