I am making high school graduation invitations for my cousin. I am trying to find a phrase that would be appropriate for the cover. The picture shows my cousin as a senior looking back at a picture of herself when she was younger. Any ideas welcome.
I was thinking of things like "you've(or I've) come along way" but I think it's a little too cheesy. Please help.

For example, "all but ordinary" -- I've seen "all but" used in ways so that this could mean that something is simply ordinary, or that it is anything but ordinary. Which is it?

Hi,
Sometimes I feel that even if I dont use say a/an, the sentence can convey the same meaning, which I want to convey. I mean it seems to me that there is no other possible interpretation of the statement, even if I omit a/an.. This makes me feel that sometimes a/an is redundant. Being a technical person, somehow my mind is automatically drawn to such redundancies..
Could someone pl discuss few sentences where omiting a/an/the makes the meaning of sentence different and susceptible to a different interpretation.
Thanks

We capitalize the word "God." We also capitalize the words "He," "Him," and "His" when they refer to God. So, why don't we capitalize the words "me" and "my" even though they refer to "I" which is capitalized?
