To the working, non-muslim forumers,

Will they be able to see the moon tonight? If they can't, with the rain and the mist and the haze, Hari Raya will be on Wednesday, am I right? Will you guys be going back to work tomorrow?

To all muslim forumers,

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri!

The Proper Usage of the English Language

I think EE is the most suitable sub-forum for this thread which is created specially for LYN forumers who wish to enquire regarding the proper use of the English Language (UK and not American). The incorrect use of the English Language by forumers is so rampant all over the forum and it is especially sad to read it here in EE where most topics and comments are created and posted by undergraduates.

This is not a “look-down” thread on forumers who honestly seek to improve their command of the English Language, or a “boost-up ego” thread for the sincere Grammar Nazi.

So, any forumers who wish to clarify and learn the usage of the English Language, with its nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, punctuations, conjunctions, tenses, singular/plural, masculine/feminine, synonyms, collective nouns, etc, please come and participate and we can all learn together.

I do not profess myself to be a grammar nazi, so all sincere LYN Grammar Nazis who wish to assist are most welcome to contribute.

DA VINCI CODE

Written across the wall of the cave were the following symbols:

It was considered a unique find and the writings were said to be at least three thousand years old!

The piece of stone was removed, brought to the museum, and archaeologists from around the world came to study the ancient symbols. They held a huge meeting after months of conferences to discuss the meaning of the markings.

The President of the society pointed to first drawing and said: "This is a woman. We can see these people held women in high esteem. You can also tell they were intelligent, as the next symbol is a donkey, so they were smart enough to have animals help them till the soil. The next drawing is a shovel, which means they had tools to help them."

"Even further proof of their high intelligence is the fish which means that if a famine hit the earth and food didn't grow, they seek food from the sea. The last symbol appears to be the Star of David which means they were evidently Hebrews."

The audience applauded enthusiastically.

Then a little old Jewish man stood up in the back of the room and said, "Idiots, Hebrew is read from right to left......"

It says: "Holy Mackerel, Dig The Ass On That Chick"
