I'm getting worse at grammar as I get older.

I use to use "eat", "ate", "eaten" correctly, but not any more (as my wife reminds me).

I've also never learned when to use "effect" or "affect", even when I read explanations of which to use. :confused3:

....but I do know a word that rhymes with "purple"! :cool2:


edit: "...a conjunction that rhymes..."
edit2: "...a conjunction I made up..".
edit3: "a conjunction I made up, OK, it probably doesn't really exist...."

"Roses are red
violets are purple
if the pancakes don't fill you up,
the syrup'll!"

To beavers and woodchucks, maybe.
A beaver's favorite wood is aspen. I guess that you could say that they prefer popple pallets.
Actually they only eat the bark, but now I'm splitting hairs.

"Effect," noun; "Affect," verb except when you want to "effect" a cure

When I was in the Navy, we had to have our XO review all of our outgoing draft messages. He was a "Grammar ****" - but we learned.

Funny thing is he would also make pen-and-ink corrections to incoming messages on the read board. All the way up to those coming from the Pentagon! :shocked:
