We have many buskers here and I have to admit every time I hear a pan flute I run. Yikes. But we also had this little old man in a wheel chair who played the violin so beautifully you could weep. We even looked for him sometimes when we were in the city and were very sad when we heard he passed away.
Now you know what I'm forced to endure, we're in the middle of the election campaign. Parliamentary elections in September. (By the way this is not a political opinion, only a cry of despair from one who has to look at tacky posters, listen to boring speeches and meaningless squabbles for the next months.)
Okay, she looks like she is dancing on that beach...Does she dance?
So true. Language is a living, breathing thing, which needs rules to tame it. Nevetheless these rules can be broken, if it is used occasionally and carefully.
Thanks for the info, although the winner of September 2012 was a bit much, seeing that I am planning to be in some pools during the next couple of days.
Hmmm *grumble* He came over late, nagged me for not packing and then spoiled all the fun by blabbering: Isn't that XXXX? Then he started to talk about Greek islands and how we should visit some maybe next year. So yes, he is all that, but he can be a pain also.
Really Zmbie? Okay I didn't know him, or better I didn't recognize him, yeah unbelievable I know, but my dad did, from four meters away. This is cheating. Right? So I go back to packing.
This is where I get my annual fix:

I sat on my hands for about five minutes because I didn't want to comment on your statement, my hands won. We had some changes in how to spell certain words, how and when to use the comma etc. The discussion was very heated, but now it's over and I would be a very bad editor to ignore those new rules, although my fingers twitch every now and then. I was taught to write daß, but it's dass now. *shrugs*
Yes because this canid is going to speak Italian very soon and seeing how long it can take to find the name I won't be able to say Yes! Correct. Although I do have a nice and easy one...but I thought that before.
As I said earlier I never heard of double space after period until I stumbled over this thread. So I looked for more information and found this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentence_spacing
I think it clears the why and when the double spacing started.
Yes, yes I hum it all day in summer and I am very glad you can't hear me.

I never used the double space and I never heard of it until today. Call me ignorant. I believe at least here in Germany nobody does/did that, even when they use/d a typewriter. I actually called my mother, she confirmed she always used a single space behind a period.
I did hear of the Oxford comma, what a relief.
