GRAMMATICALLY YOURS

Dear students,

Congratulations on joining the English class. It's great that you've decided to take this major stride towards learning better English because poor English shrinks you a lot. Better English means clear English, and correct English. Since language is shared, then your spelling and grammar must follow the accepted standard pattern. Good grammar prevents ambiguity. Make sure you at least know the parts of speech. Know the difference between active voice and passive voice. Also learn the basics of capitalization and punctuation.

You need to learn the grammar by all means because you have to follow the rule. It is said that if you line up all the cars in the world end to end, someone would be stupid enough to try and overtake them. Therefore, honor your grammar more than your constitution. You may say that grammar is not so much necessary to read, it comes automatically. And if I agreed with you we'd both be wrong.

Everything we do, we do in the classroom. Instant messaging! No offline. Because, you know that a bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station. So I never accept your homework at my table. In our class, you will definitely learn. Our slogan is “Keep learning”. Learn more about the bloopers, howlers, and grammar, whatever. Never let the brain idle.' An idle mind is the devil's workshop.' And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.
Some of the things you will learn in our class which you can never learn them elsewhere are:

 Santa's helpers are subordinate clauses.
 The only 15 letter word that can be spelled without repeating a letter is uncopyrightable.
 Facetious and abstemious contain all the vowels in the correct order, as does arsenious, meaning 'containing arsenic.'
 There is a seven letter word in the English language that contains ten words without rearranging any of its letters, 'therein' – the, there, he, in, rein, her, here, ere, therein, herein.
 The dot over the letter 'i' is called a tittle.
 'Underground' is the only word in the English language that begins and ends with the letters 'und.'

The things that come to those who wait maybe the things left by those who got there first. So come first, and enjoy! Don't worry — we won't SPAM you even if you become late! Here we believe that everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have film. You're never too old to learn something stupid. And age doesn’t make you forgetful. Having way too many stupid things (like grammar rules) to remember makes you forgetful.

There is no pleasure in having nothing to do; the fun is in having lots to do and not doing any. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive. On the keyboard of life, always keep one finger on the Escape key. Remember, no matter where you go, there you are!
Have a great day or pretend to!

Grammatically yours,

Rebat Kumar Dhakal
