Is there any grammarians in the house?
I ain't got no problems using the English language. Just about the most easiest language in the world. But I ain't no grammarian.

So where is the grammarians? I wants to learn some more about talking and writing good.

6. Let me axe you a question?
The plural of goose is geese, correct? If Mr. John Goose and his wife were comming over, would it be proper to say that the Gooses are comming, or the Geese are comming?

Really--I taught HS English, and I'm a stickler for grammar (except on message boards)

9. My grammarian inhabits another, unearthly plane.
But I suspect there's a few around here.

I miss my grammarian; both of them, in fact!
