Re: Dr. Shades's Grammar Lesson of the Day
Points well taken. Thanks, Shades.

Over the course of the last few years, Shades has been very gracious by giving his time in an effort to help me. In addition to helping me become a better human being in general, he has helped me with some of my dysfunctional grammar related issues. Among these, he has taught me that "a lot" is two words (When I fist arrived here at MDB, I used to write "aNOSPACElot", so he kindly asked me if I would write "ahorse" or "a horse?"). This did the trick and I am proud to say that I now write "a lot' the correct way all the time now.
The above example is a mere single example of the many ways that the good and decent Dr. Shades has been willing to share his knowledge with folk like me. For this, I am both thankful and appreciative.
Wow, this post looks fabulous!
Peace,
