Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

Anyone have any grammar questions? I am always shocked by the lack of basic grammar and punctuation skills I see. I am willing to answer any questions -- no matter how basic.

Why do so many people form the plural of a noun by adding an apostrophe these days? (i.e. "Where are my CD's?") That's so wrong!

np. Hate when people incorrectly use "I" instead of me, as in "He gave it to John and I" when the proper way is "He gave it to John and me." The rule is if you would use "us" for the plural, then use "me" for the singular--if you would use "we" for the plural then use "I" for the singular.

Ah -- one of my favorites. THAT is used when you need to differentiate; WHICH is used in a way that does not differentiate. Examples: The car THAT is parked in the driveway is mine. [Would be said in response to the question, "Which car is yours?" Refers specifically to the car in the driveway, as opposed to the car that is parked elsewhere. Note that there are no commas separating 'that is parked in the driveway' from the rest of the sentence.] The car, WHICH is parked in the driveway, is mine. [This sentence would be used in response to the quesiont, "Whose car is parked in the driveway?" The sentence notes that the car belongs to me and it happens to be parked in the driveway; it doesn't differentiate my car from another car. Note that the phrase 'which is parked in the driveway' is separated from the rest of the sentence by commas.]
