Re: Grammar vs. Grammer
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Irony is a literary or rhetorical device, in which there is a gap or incongruity between what a speaker or a writer says, and what is generally understood. Generally there is an element of humour, stemming from the onlooker's perception of paradox. [/ QUOTE ] You did not site your source. [/ QUOTE ] It's "cite", homey. Otherwise, nice job.

Edit: You also say "proposition" instead of "preposition". This has been the most intellectually stimulating part of my day. No kidding.

Re: Grammar vs. Grammer

Ending a sentence with a preposition is okay. [/ QUOTE ] Yes it is. And so is starting a sentence with the word 'and'. Anyone who told you differently is working off a set of grammatical rules developed one hundred years ago. If you don't believe me - ask Phillip Roth. He's notorious for ending his sentences (which happen to be a paragraph long each) with prepositions and starting his sentences with the word 'and'.

There is another mistake in my post, can you find it? [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] But it's not ironic. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You should not start a sentence with a preposition. [/ QUOTE ] "But" is a conjunction, not a preposition.
