Just one minor issue, it's not as entertaining as the downloaded podcast when people asking questions, and occasionally music. The change in mood, tempo, etc., make listening alot easier, especially when driving. Not a big deal. Thanks. http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/unaccusative-verbs.aspx?commentid=3474#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/unaccusative-verbs.aspx?commentid=3474#Comments Thu, 13 Sep 2007 18:55:46 GMT Amber Q grammar Hi Grammar Girl, I was hoping you could do clarify the proper use of possessives in sentences where someone is referring to himself and another person. For example, just today someone wrote an email to me about her new couch. "My fiance's and mine taste in decor," she began. Ugh! Can you please show people how to avoid this mistake? My eyes and ears would be so grateful! http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/unaccusative-verbs.aspx?commentid=2423#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/unaccusative-verbs.aspx?commentid=2423#Comments Tue, 17 Apr 2007 23:44:31 GMT Grammar Girl grammar I covered this in a previous episode: Who versus Whom http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/unaccusative-verbs.aspx?commentid=2422#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/unaccusative-verbs.aspx?commentid=2422#Comments Sun, 04 Feb 2007 23:36:52 GMT Linda grammar Please HELP with when to use who versus whom. This is the one I still strugle with the most.

He or she always was and always will be so tense is meaningless. http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/unaccusative-verbs.aspx?commentid=2420#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/unaccusative-verbs.aspx?commentid=2420#Comments Fri, 26 Jan 2007 20:18:22 GMT Ramon M. Ong grammar I enjoyed Grammar Girl's lesson on the apostrophe's uses, but she failed to mention about possessives or plurals of initials and numbers. My OB-GYN's bedside manners are impeccable, but his RNs behave like VIPs. In our grading system, all 3s pass, 4s are conditioned and 5s fail. Were my examples correct? http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/unaccusative-verbs.aspx?commentid=2419#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/unaccusative-verbs.aspx?commentid=2419#Comments Fri, 26 Jan 2007 11:47:16 GMT Fri, 02 Oct 2009 09:33:09 GMT http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/unaccusative-verbs.aspx feedback@quickanddirtytips.com (Managing Editor) feedback@quickanddirtytips.com (Webmaster) en-us
