Lady Minerva was fuming mad!!! Since she had broken off her engagement to Lord Bigley, she had been getting a rather COOL reception from many!!
She knew that EVERYONE loved a Masquarade Ball so decided to throw one. She would request that people come as who they would LIKE to be!! This was going to be fun.................!!!

Have you ever liked a girl way younger than you. Like 10 or more years younger than you ?

If so , was it serious or was it just a passing crush from both sides?

Would you consider dating someone that young Or do you think that they are too immature and you would prefer someone closer to your age?

this is to funny . ok first off people i never said i was right > i did say i try to use words that make SENCE lol . that was for the ones who pointed out my spelling , kudos , and run on sentences lets see how could make another one of those could it be like this one im writing about here now or maybe i could come up with another one . oh my i just did , oh and i didnt see anyone pointing out that i do not use a capitol letter beginning my sentences . but i did make my point , people are not all from over sea's , and what i was pointing out is words used to express themselfs . i will not say i am sorry for this i would hate to think i will walk into the bank soon and maybe finance a new truck , and the person say to me what DOES you need a loan for . here is one also , how about i go into the hospital and the person askes me , why come you here ? im waiting for more of the hard hits on me people ! oh this is better than reading silly questions that make no SENCE lmao .

When would you use those remarks?

under what circumstances would you use it? like... i was thinking it would be like "when is this 'said person' coming?" or "what does this 'said thing' do?"

and i right? how else does it work?

What does it mean when you say "and how"?

like.. if someone says something and you respond "and how!"... when would you do that? what would the first person be saying for that to make sense? what's it mean?

The situation is: "___ (possibly famous) actress"
I'm confused, because the "possibly" would make it "a"...but if you didn't read the part in parentheses the "actress" would make it "an".

Which one and why?

I just wonder when it was that schools lost the ability to teach certain basic English rules. The one that particularly gets to me is the way most(?), particularly young, people speak and write the pronoun Me instead of "I." I'm not going to try to discuss object vs subject pronouns, but if a person would just say to themselves: Does it sound right if the "and ____" weren't there" For example: Sally writes: "Me and Billy went to school ..." Would she also say, if she was alone on the trip, "Me went to school"

If people would just think to say the other person first (e.g., Billy and ___), I think hey would naturally use the correct pronoun, and we would soon rid ourselves of this grammatical barbarism.

Do other people share my concern?

How irritating is it to try and read these questions with all the misspelled words? On a scale of 1 to 10, I find it about a 12.
