Professor Leafman!?!?!?

I can almost let the misspelling of Cthulhu go (although if I did it might invoke his wrath)...

But "their"?

Congradulations, AZ!!! The zombie hoard is increasing.

Horde.

Does no one know the difference between those two words?

Hoard is a collection of possesions -- ie: Sharoth is trying to find a way to steal Jeremy's hoard of miniatures.
Horde is a large mass of people (or creatures) usually with destructive tendencies -- ie: We'll need more shotguns and chainsaws to fight against the growing Aberzombie horde.

Heh, I like Jess's posts. They are better then ones I did, which were a bunch of random words I've learned from anime. XD

Are you sure you're the prof's daughter?

"Then" is an order of events -- this then that.
"Than" is a comparison -- this is better than that.

I remember when I first met Dr. Leaf-Jones. It was in the sweltering, Jap-ridden summer of '42 I do believe. I was in BURma.

I was relaxing in the officer's club and I said to my aid Reggie, I said, Reggie! Who is that American chap with the striking mamasan who is obviously a spy for the Japanese? That is when the famous name of Dr. Leaf-Jones, which I heard so often before, was finally put to a face. A fine, heroic, intelligent face that said, All your artefacts and honies iz mine. Now just how it turned out that he escaped her attentions unharmed is quite a story...Where's my pipe?

Wow Dad....your old.

you're

Your welcome. :D

Seriously? I know that you know better...

Huh? Know better what?

Well, something is apparently "yours", but I'm not sure what a "welcome" is or how it could be yours. Maybe you missed something --

"Your welcome mat"
"Your welcome greeting"
"Your welcome spoon"

Thanks to all of you guys for the well wishes and the Card!!

Absolutely ridiculous that people I've never even met do that stuff.

You guys are wonderful!!!

((HUGZ))

Your welcome. <3

Come on now. I can't let that go.

And we have the Grammar Police for TotP.

Did someone call me?

You don't want to know...

This was funny.

At which point, i will have to make an alias 'the dyslexic resistance' and engage in acts of linguistic terrorism against the facist state of Grammar. It is my understanding that English, has no language collage. That there is no 'correct' way of using english beyond common usage.

Sorry for the supremely of topic nature of this post.

There are rules to the English language. The primary reason for this is simply so that other people can understand what you are talking about. "Common usage" may be true for spoken language, but then you don't need to spell things out when you speak.

"English" to my knowledge is always capitalized. A really minor point and normally I wouldn't care.

"of topic" -- Technically this would be closer to "on topic" which is opposite of what you were trying to say. It's pretty easy to spot the typo and see that you simply missed an additional "f" and, again, I would normally ignore this.

"English has no language collage" -- This is the one that got me.

Collage -- An artistic composition of materials and objects pasted over a surface, often with unifying lines and color.

I'm not sure how a language can be a composition of materials and objects pasted over a surface. I guess that you can write out a bunch of words and/or sentences onto different materials and then cut them all out and paste them onto a board in an artistic manner. But then I'm not sure what that has to do the sentence you wrote.

I believe you meant "college" -- in which case I believe that there most likely are some -- there seems to be a college for everything. (Of course there's probably a "collage" for everything as well.)
