Double Benefit
I just need to say this:
I think all local politicians should be incinerated in order to keep the poor warm.
After a week off work – part of it in Devon to see Lauren and her daughter and then part of it playing hostess to Lauren and her daughter – I’m now back and amazed at the manipulation and manoeuvring of our local politicians.
I’ll try and write more tomorrow; it’s now 23:42 here and my bedtime.
23:42 is your bedtime? Lucky for you you looked at the clock when you did. Another minute and you would have been late for bed. Then you would of awaken tired and cranky. …

It’s 21:17 here, and I just got home from the office. As for politicians being used to warm the poor — that would work equally well in the States. Better. There’s more of ’em to burn.

Warming the poor is important…especially where I live…LOL!

Why just local politicians?

Oh dear! That doesn’t sound good. I look forward to the reasons for incinerating your local politicians! I imagine that the burning would be of great benefit to you (and your students?)

RYNs: Thank you. I appreciated your comments. From now on I go back to no commas before “and” before independent clauses. Your disagreement with Icklewriter that you wisely made private, also other people’s varying interpretations, emphasised that we all have our own interpretations of grammatical rules and they vary within country as well as between countries. As well as falling into line withthe instructor on her commas before “and” (“and,” / “and”,) I also fell into line with her punctuation around inverted commas. Now I discover, from reading on line, that there are British/US variations there, too. Ugh! I’m giving up and going back to punctuating “a la Arbi”. It’s a whole lot easier that trying to be correct.However, I do feel a smidgeon of irritation that our US instructor expected that all her students, including those she knew were from Australia, should fall into line with US practice. I wonder whether, like me, she didn’t realise there were any differences?
