Please remind your husband that some people, usually people not in the sciences, do actually pay for their doctoral degrees. What you’re being quoted from the online is about what I paid for my undergrad degree, an amount that many would say was out of the question for that, too. I have no idea how one finds funding for grad degrees. Let me know if you find out.

More grammar?!

-Further and farther. Is there a difference?

-Then and than. How and when are these used?

-”That”. Ex: I know that I should know the difference.
Is this sentence still proper without “that”? Why do we use it if we don’t need it?

-Who and whom….I can never have this explained enough.

-Agreement of amounts. Ex: If someONE is getting bullied THEY should tell the teacher.
(I had to listen to a 25 minute presentation in class today that included grammar mistakes like this one.)(that one?)

I think if you only do one a week, those examples take us well into December!! There’s just so much to know.

Thanks for being the awesome teacher you are! (There’s something wrong with that sentence isn’t there?)

Ooh! Oooh! Lay/lie? I’ve had this explained to me several times by a fabulous teacher, but I am unable to make it stick in my mind. I blame Bob Dylan. I think I’ve got it, but then I start humming “Lay Lady Lay” and I begin to second doubt myself.
