Hi Gérard !
It is difficult to choose among all the books I have read. I enjoyed "The Alchimist" from Coelho "Roots" Alex Haley André Daleux's books about science and faith. Anyway "The Alchimist" was not that long but it was good.

Hi Gérard !
I give in ! I can't find anything !

Muriel,

To me, the possessive is needed.

Gérard
You mean Carlsbad 's caverns ?

Right.
I didn't find anything else but it's true that I cannot read the rest of the writing properly.

OhOh

Supposably is a word, but it is often used incorrectly. The word you are looking for is supposedly, a modifier meaning “as a matter of supposition; in the beliefs or according to the claims of some people.”

I am sorry Gérard but I don't understand that Picture :scratch:please, what does that mean ?

Muriel,

Don't worry about the picture itself.
Grammarly deals with correct American language and the text is more important.
Remember it's not a funny picture or a joke, it's a lesson of grammar.

The picture just means American language.

Don't make yourself the subject of everything.
Sue gave the tickets to Rob and me.
Not
Rob and I

The bold tells you what's important:
Subject has got several possible meanings, here it's grammar.
The sentence says that words that come after "Sue gave the tickets to..." are not a SUBJECT but an OBJECT (complement).
So "... to Rob and I" (which is too often wrongly said) is incorrect. As an object, the correct sentence is "... to Rob and me".
("I" is grammatically a subject; "me" is grammatically the corresponding object)

Using "Rob and I" makes you a subject of the sentence.

Thanks a lot Gérard !

You're welcome Muriel.

hello everyone !
i did not know what the crotch was. It is  the region of the body where the legs join the torso,

Muriel,

I'd have said a bit lower.
I hope you'll remember, though it's not a word you'll use daily ;)To remember it, try to use it 3 times tomorrow.

Very difficult and embarrassing !

For those who don't know, "cheesy" means "cheap and unpleasant"

Grammarly
This is what happens when you use text speak in an SMS to a lover of correct spelling.

> text speak
Note "text speak".
I may not have read thoroughly enough
but I had in mind "text speech"
Anyway!
