A notice at the bottom of the site which published this diary states: This site contains news items which are often ridiculous, generally fictitious, entirely ill-informed and simultaneously biased in favour of the status quo and against the Scottish National Party, the Scottish Government and Scottish Independence in particular. Any similarity with other national broadcasters is entirely unfortunate.
With some slight modifications, I ask all popular media to make similar protestations of innocence…
I second tt92's "Wonderful!" with as much fervor as I can manage, after a day of dealing with a 5 and 7 year old great nephews… And knowing that that the school-year ends but a week from now! (The 5 year-old has "graduated" pre-school.)
For any lurking Grammar Nazis, a question: Is the form of my "dealing with a 5 and 7 year old great nephews" correct?
Show your work, please!
