Oh! those apostrophes!
I ran into this video through the @AdviceToWriters twitter account and I thought it was quite funny:
Deciding when to use an apostrophe is hard for learners of English as well as for native speakers. The most problematic one is definitely <'s>.
So just to make it clear, these are the three situations where <'s> is grammatically correct:
1) When it indicates possession: This is Christine's backpack.
2) When it substitutes the i in IS: Kevin's happy.
3) When it substitutes the ha in HAS: She's got a nice cat.
That's IT!! So, NEVER use <'s> for plurals!!! (you'll find plenty of those mistakes in the video)

Let it snow!
Well, it will be Christmas this Saturday!
So, here goes our Christmas song for the year: Let It Snow. It's a traditional song and there are dozens of versions of it by many singers, from Boyz II Men to Frank Sinatra.
Here's a slow version by Kylie Minogue, with lyrics:
And here's a slightly different heavy metal version by Twisted Sister. This version is one of my favourite Christmas songs ;-)

Be precise!
Back to school!
Ok, we returned a couple of weeks ago, but I really didn't have much to post about.
This year I want to start with a video that's slightly harder than usual, but I think it's a great poem and it definitely stresses a good point --it's important to speak your mind clearly, and be precise!
