Grammar

Lie, lay, lais, lye, laid.



No wonder so many people dislike the English language, sometimes things simply don't make sense, and other times to say something sensical takes an awful lot of work. These are experiments I typed into word during an online chat conversation with a friend. I was teased moments later for my choice to choose correct grammar but hey, I didn't want to accidentally use a term for soap, the famous written French works, or speak in an incorrect tense and state that my friend had been "laid" when it wasn't what I intended.

I'd like to challenge the theory that chat groups and text messaging only hinder students from incorrect grammar, in this semester's scenario where I am not taking any writing or composition course I feel I'm keeping my language sharp by putting it into frequent use. Additionally, the friends I speak to are individuals of significant learning and academic achievement, so I recognize I can learn as I read from them.

As Professor Hambrick informed us studies show, any reading is good reading and helpful to exercising the working memory.

I'll learn when I can.
