My sisters birthday cake. I asked the baker lady person if she could put "Congrats! You're almost dead!" instead she put
"Congrats! Your almost done!!" So I tried to turn the "done" into "dead" but there was nothing I could to about the "you're" instead of "your" she liked it though.
The school was founded in the late 1500s by Anthony Gell, a wealthy local landowner. The present building dates from 1827 and is now a holiday let.

Cosplay (コスプレ , kosupure), short for "costume play" is a type of performance art whose participants outfit themselves, with often-elaborate costumes and accessories, as a specific character or idea.
Cosplay participants ("cosplayers") form a subculture centered around wearing their costumes and reenacting scenes or inventing likely behavior inspired by their chosen sources. In some circles, the term cosplay has been broadened to include simply wearing a costume, without special consideration given to enacting characters in a performance context.

Crossplay is cosplay in which the person dresses up as a character of the opposite gender.
Midhurst Grammar School (actually a comprehensive!). Famous for being the school where HG Wells studied and taught.
The earliest examples of buses in regular service are now these '51 reg Volvo B7TlL's 4277, a long tome resident of West Bromwich, is working out it's final days from Acocks Green garage. The ALX400 is working a 5 service from Birmingham to Solihull, it is in Wake Green Road and passing the fine buildings of Moseley Grammar School.
This school, which along with 2 other similar establishments, decided my 11+ results were not good enough and a Technical School education was more fitting for 1960's factory fodder...not that I hold a grudge...much.

dark and twisty german grammar – with a twist flip!
although my german grammar undeniably needs a lot of work, i consider my english grammar to be pretty spot on. i'd say i notice approximately 98% of grammar and spelling mistakes others make.
i'm not saying i don't make mistakes – i'm only human – but the inhuman thing is probably that once i realize i've made a mistake, even if i can go back and fix it, i obsess over it and the mistake is something that will haunt me for the rest of my life. is this unhealthy thinking? most likely, yes. but in the long run there need to be people who are overly conscious about things like this – otherwise the entire written world would go to hell in a hand basquette baskitte baskit basket.
i only have two or three of the duden books (which are essentially the bibles of german orthography and grammar), but i want them all. they're way too much fun. the picture dictionary is probably the best. you would never guess how many different types of wigs there are with wig-specific vocabulary! madness!
anyone else have a favorite punctuation mark? mine's a toss up between the en and em dash.

Thetford Grammar School - my attempt to capture this beautiful building (as requested by my eldest Grandson, who supplied the ref photo). I only hope the TGS staff will forgive me - I tried:)

English can have its problems when it comes to rules of grammar. The rules are sometimes confusing or overly complicated. For instance, according to an English grammar website (www.ef.edu/english-resources/english-grammar/forming-poss... ), the following is the rule for forming the possessive:
The possessive form is used with nouns referring to people, groups of people, countries, and animals. It shows a relationship of belonging between one thing and another. To form the possessive, add apostrophe + s to the noun. If the noun is plural, or already ends in s, just add an apostrophe after the s.
EXAMPLES
the car of John = John's car
the room of the girls = the girls' room
clothes for men = men's clothes
the boat of the sailors = the sailors' boat
For names ending in s, you can either add an aspostrophe s or just an apostrophe. The first option is more common. When pronouncing a possessive name, we add the sound /z/ to the end of the name.
EXAMPLES
Thomas's book (or Thomas' book)
James's shop (or James' shop)
the Smiths's house (or the Smiths' house)
That's all good and well but take the example from Tomball, Texas shown in this photo. If your last name is Dumas and you want to show your ownership of your taco stand, then adding an aspostrophe s to your name would make you into a Dum ass. Even adding the sound /z/ to the end of the name does not help! (Who makes up these rules?) So you might as well have fun with it! Note the sign on the window that says, "You too can become a Dumass costomer.
These guys make good tacos, by the way. I am a Dumass customer! If you go to Tomball Texas, you can be a dumass customer too.
In the rhythm of the city, words emerge everywhere — on flickering neon signs, chalk-written menus, stickers layered thick on windows, faded posters peeling off brick walls. Streets become pages and every walk turns into reading a living novel. This series captures the unnoticed dialogue of urban life: how cities speak to us through fragments, commands, promises, jokes, and warnings. By focusing on public texts — signs, menus, window scripts — we reveal the collective voice of the streets, chaotic yet strangely intimate.

The paint has faded over the years, but demonstrated two things - The first is that someone's engine was stolen (allegedly). The second is that the complainant might have benefited from a grammar lesson. Clearly they also procured a tin of white paint
The school room had to be built upon posts to allow the butter market to be held on the ground floor. The school was founded in 1607 and built in 1614.This date can be seen in the plaster work above the middle window.
The subjects taught were Latin, Greek and Hebrew, and many boys were sent to Oxford and Cambridge universities. Including John Moore, who became Bishop of Norwich in 1691, and Bishop of Ely in 1707 and also William Henry Bragg, Nobel Prize winner. This is commemorated by a plaque inside the old schoolroom.
Not sure if this was in jest or not. If not, and if this person's first language is english, I'd recommend that they pay someone else to write their resume. Ice graffiti spotted at Baseline Station in Nepean.
The visual grammar is like a language to speak by different construction. Using line, square and point to concrete and group together, which can consist of an abstract system to describe the objective things. Colour is an important part of visual language. It has complicated structure that through three primary colour can create the world.
For tomorrow's CreativeMornings. From an old Illustrate Me. Have always wondered how much of this I actually got right.
Every few yards on both platforms at Grange Park station you see one of these notices. The platform is lower than usual, so it could be dangerous if you step off the train without looking.
But that notice is strangely worded. Passengers 'alight' when they get off the train. Trains and their passengers 'depart' when they leave the station. Perhaps that notice should read: 'Warning. Low platform. Take care when getting off'. That gets the correct message across using two less words. And nobody can be confused. I'm sure British Rail wouldn't have made signs like this.
