Holloween, you say. I guess they hold the party in a cavern?

Hmmm...don't know if that's better or worse than "I bringed my son to school." Presumably so they could learn him some.

In Newfoundland, the people are long after giving up their struggle with English irregular verbs, and are after creatively finding their way around it. It is extremely common, even in formal speech, to hear an expression like "I'm after bringing my son to school". Or "I'm after telling him not to do that". Or "The Premier is after proposing that legislation". Even magistrates in court will say "I'm after overruling a similar objection". The abolition of verb tenses is nearly universal. Instead of "What did you do?" they will ask "What are you after doing?" I think, but I'm not sure, that they might be after bringing this form from Ireland.

Thankfully, I don't live in NewFoundLand, or Ireland either.

My son"s fifth grade teacher sent a note home. It said, "Josh will not be quite in math class. I asked him five times to be quite. He talks to another boy and I ask them to be quite but they keep talking. Would you please remind Josh to be quite? It is important to be quite so I can teach math."

Default From the dental forum

I had an anagram filling removed.

Wonder if the dentist was puzzled!

I can't even begin to guess what that was supposed to be.
