WHAT!!!

Posted On 2010-06-06 , 4:00 PM

Dear Diary:

''Let's eat Grandma!'' or, ''Let's eat, Grandma!''
Punctuation saves lives. Use it. Save a life.

 


WHAT!!!  Can you imagine the mixed feelings I felt when I first saw that quote on an anime forum website (not that the quote had anything to do with anime)?  Don't they know I'm a big fan of kid-style anime and doing what I can to bridge the generation gap?  Well, that first sentence caught my attention!  Then I read the rest of it… sheer amusement!

Twenty-Odd Ducks book on punctuation
I was so amused that I've decided to do a webpage on Funny Punctuation and discovered that there are some really fun ways to learn grammar. We just didn't have that back when I was a kid. Kids are so lucky these days!  WHAT! You don't believe me… even parents will have fun helping you with this homework.


Check it out; you'll see! Check out our other fun ways to learn in a buzzing kids world while you're at it, too. ^.^  ~ KidsGranny

1. I googled ^.^; but couldn't find it.Thanks. 

I did find an interesting page with a lot of the anime emoticons on http://www.anikaos.com/japanese_emoticons.html. Hmm, 'anikaos'! That isn't you by any chance is it??? ^.^

3. To Anika:

So happy you like this one; it was a fun one to do along with the other two pages that I just put up under the Fun Ways To Learn category: Funny Punctuation and Punctuation Examples.
Check them out when you get a chance. And thanks again for commenting. (Have to go check out that anime smiley code you signed off with.)  ^.^

4. LOL.  Love this entry.  I'm a bit grammar obsessed and love funny grammar tools.  I'd post a link to a few of my favorites (by a website called "The Oatmeal") but they have some swearing in them and so aren't exactly kid friendly.  >.<;
