    this thread wasn't entirely serious
    helpful tips
    it's spelt d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y
    there - 'in or at that place'
    their - 'owned by them'
    they're - 'they are'
    it's bought not brought (i just bought my chicken a suit from that new shop for £6.34)

    We were taught Latin when i first went to Grammar school, many moons ago now. The teacher also taught music and had a little stick like like a baton and when teaching Latin use to regularly use it.
    To write Latin sentences i remember him saying over and over again .... Subject; Object; Verb .......... Subject; Object; Verb. Then he'd get his little cane out and say ..... The Master Hits The Boy; The Master Hits The Boy. ....... The master is the subject; hits is the verb and the boy is the object.
    What would they say if schools did that now ?
