Who's Hanaru?

Hanaru is another NUF user. We got NUF married a few months ago, although I think she may have a harem. ^_^

It's a she? I see..

congrats !!

Congratulations!

one year of your life wasted :/

Nvm I figured it out

i.e is That is. e.g. is Example

But the first four are blob emojis. Can you please pick up one or two from those blobs?

Eh, as I said before, my second place and third place votes are for the kitty present and kitty heart. Unless those don’t count either? I’m a little sad about the puppy, but I understand. It’s too bad, but I’ll make do. ╭(╯^╰)╮

Oh sure!!! Thanks for understanding...

In america most people simply don't use shall because it sounds archaic to them.

Let me fix that for you: “In America, most people simply don’t use shall because it sounds archaic to them.” ^_^#

*quickly hides my clones*

I distinctly remember asking mom that before and got the answer. Too bad I don’t remember. T_T I looked it up, and the answer seems to be... everyone has a different opinion.

The easiest rule I came accross was: if you say it out loud and add an extra “s” sound, you write an extra “s.” But you can see more about the varying opinions here: https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/79081/which-singular-names-ending-in-s-form-possessives-with-only-a-bare-apostrophe

Oh, thank you! *glomps back* *resists urge to nibble*

"Traditionally, can has referred to what one was physically or mentally capable of doing. May was more about permission."

"At this point, however, the distinctions between can and may are almost completely lost to most English speakers. Can has for centuries been taking on most of the job of may. May has become stigmatized as the preferred choice of someone who is likely to correct your speech, even when it isn’t their place."

I too was also corrected many a time as a child.

I like it with bacon on ham!

I never tried with pineapple though... >.>

@Anra7777 Tunisia

@akki *jiiiiiiiiii* why are you up that early? Or did you not sleep

Pizza with minced meat is also delicious, my brother once kept nagging mom to make it, in the end everyone but him liked it xD

Hmm, never tried pineapple pizza, I don't think I'll like it >_>
Not a fan of mixing salty and sweet flavours in the same dish

It should be great with minced meat~

But yeah, not very fond of mixing sweet and salty either... Well, I'm still easy to please though... >.>

Sorry for your loss

Maybe try a bakery?
I never tried brownie batter doughnut there...
I tend to just get glazed or Boston cream
They do have a deal for bacon egg and cheese croissants 2/5$

Brownie batter has always been one of their monthly special doughnuts that comes out only in February. I don’t think a bakery would make them. But thank you for the suggestion, anyway.

>_>
<_<
Maybe tweet at them?

*feeds Anra some sunflower seeds as a reward for their hard work*

"Different than" sounds weird. Is it commonly used?

@Blitz It sounds weird to me too. But I almost never hear anyone say “different from” or see it written. It’s always “different than.” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Maybe it’s a regional thing?

@Blitz is correct. I actually didn’t remember about this one, but when I saw Blitz’s response, it seemed 100% right to me. I looked it up (https://www.vocabulary.com/articles/chooseyourwords/assume-presume/) and Blitz is indeed correct. ^_^

If english class had such earnest students, english teachers would cry

thanks~

Part 1:
I have the words “subjunctive contrary to fact” burned into my brain after nearly 30 years of them being drilled into my head by my English prof mom. Only when researching did I find that there was more to this tense then I thought. I’ll explain what I do know, then direct you to a site I came across with more info.

Part 2:
Think of a hypothetical situation. Now, since it *is* a hypothetical, and not real, the tense changes. Rather than saying, “If I was hungry, I would eat,” you should say, “If I were hungry, I would eat.” That is subjunctive contrary to fact.

Part 3:
Confession: it took me a while to put up this episode because this was giving me a headache. Confession: I shudder every time I see the words “if... was...” and there are a lot of those in novels.
For more info: https://web.cn.edu/kwheeler/grammar_subjunctive.html

Regular lesson coming... soon... sometime...

Wahaha saw this just today. Real funny xD

Yup

i was too... until things gone wrong...


i was sacrificed...

Part 3:
For quotations that encompass more than one sentence, you use an ellipsis with four dots. Example: “I am Anra. Therefore, worship me, for I am amazing.” Could become: “I am Anra.... worship me... I am amazing.” Does this make sense? Let me know if you need more examples.

That was an interesting random knowledge.

That feels when you already know how it works yet still use it the wrong way in normal conversations xD

She isn’t my fav, but she’s very good. She’s a predecessor of Austen, and you can tell that Austen was quite inspired by her. I’ve read only two of her four books, both of which are very, very long. I’d say, start with Evelina, which is her first book.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frances_Burney

Already skimmed through her wiki~~

Part 2:
Definition: a split infinitive is anything placed in between “to” and the verb it’s paired with, often “not” being the offender in question. (I’m looking at you, “I Decided to Not Compete and Quietly Create Dolls Instead.”)

Part 3:
Examples:
“To be or not to be, that is the question.” Shakespeare for the win!
“To be or to not be, that is the question.” Split infinitive.

“To boldly go where no man has gone before.” Sounds awesome, but it is a split infinitive.
“To go boldly” or “Boldly to go” sounds less cool, but you won’t have to worry about red marks on your paper.

arigato @Anra7777 -san~ always is fun to read your status

Part 5:
In a recent court case within the past few years, a court decided that the missing comma meant that workers could have over time pay. For more info on the case and the comma in general, see https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_58cad41ae4b0ec9d29d9dd28

For, frankly, hilarious reasons to use the comma: https://www.buzzfeed.com/adamdavis/the-oxford-comma-is-extremely-important-and-everyone-should?utm_term=.byBQ8j2kb#.il7yd3J0K

it is idiotic and useless

@Arie Sun I didn’t vote for him, so don’t blame me. And @GonZ555 the show’s called “The Cosmic Eye Ashtar Command Radio” if you want to look it up. I’ve satisfied my curiosity enough, myself.
