Re: Internet English Resources by Grammarly.com
Should text speak be considered an acceptable short form standard of English writing?

Re: Internet English Resources by Grammarly.com
Hi Muriel,
I confirm "way" is a synonym of "far" but as adverbs and used to amplify the meaning of what follows, usually an adjective.
I use "way" very often. "Way" is very used in the States nowadays; it's the equivalent to our numerous French words "trop", "vachement", "sacrément", "giga", "méga", etc.
Here's what my dictionary says:

4 (to a great degree, very much) bien; far better/shorter/more expensive bien mieux/plus court/plus cher; far too fast/cold bien trop vite/froid; far too much money bien trop
d'argent; far too many people bien trop de gens; far more bien plus; far above/below the average bien au-dessus/au-dessous de la moyenne; the results fell far

Who's to blame? by E. E. Arctier
"Oh, you English-speaking people With your sieze and tease and steeple With your you and who and glue And your two and shoe and flew, Continue with your whom and tomb Gloom and plume and even rheum. Torment your little Tom and Terry With your misspelled bomb and bury | With your go and foe and dough And your sew and tow and know. Come and dumb and home and foam Torn and warn and tomb and comb, Sir and purr and fur and myrrh. And still we keep our eye and guy Our much and touch our whole and bowl Our flower and your, our coal and soul." |

Grammarly.com a l'air d'être un site très intéressant. Encore une fois, dommage que ce soit payant.

Re: Internet English Resources by Grammarly.com
I'd like to use this website, unfortunately since I am a student, I don't have enough money and cannot afford to spend money on this...

Re: Internet English Resources by Grammarly.com
Hi Ajie62,
Do you really need such a sophisticated tool? It was designed for professionals.
When we learn a language it's a good exercise to learn the rules, memorise, understand and play with the language.
Now there are other web sites providing free and helpful resources.
My use of this Grammarly.com website is just to pick up funny (or not) pictures, sayings... through them, we can feel the American culture.
However these items are designed for natives, not for learners.

There is a bug with the pictures in my browser. Do everyone get the same ?
EDIT : It is only with the first ones, it seems.

Hi Thundewolf !Do everyone get the same ?
For me it's the same. Some pictures have disappeared and there's a little cross instead.
