Hey there gang. It's a busy day this Sunday with our clothing Depot at 4pm (Chris' Life2gether Group is hosting it this week, but let me know if you would like to help), and then our WoW worship service at 6:30.
This week's WoW speaker is our own Dieter "the D Unit" Swartz as well as the usual great music.
In other SR News "Bev Rieger & The Sally Sues" are performing tonight (Friday Jan 27) at the Civic Centre. It's an Island wide competition to see who will be in an ECMA showcase next month. Things start tonight at 7:30, the cost is $3 and the band is playing around 9pm. Get out there and support our local legends!
Keep studying, stay safe and take care of each other!

Yeah we were one of the 2 bands out of 6 picked to go on to the provincials at the Delta on Feb.22.

Let me rephrase my post since I used poor punctuation and we can't edit them, out of the 7 bands last night we were one of the 2 picked to continue to the provincials.

POOR GRAMMAR x2!
It should read; "Let me rephrase my last post, since I cannot edit my poor punctuation. Out of the seven bands the played last night, we were selected as one of the two to continue on to the provincials at Delta, February 22nd.
Remember:
- Avoid run-on sentences. Use a period to seperate different ideas(a semicolon could also be used in such a situation, followed by a conjunction(also, consequently, furthermore, however, moreover, nevertheless, and therefore)).
- When writing out numbers smaller than nine(9), it is proper to spell out the word, rather than just the number.
- Make sure you specify, avoid the use of vague words such as "them", "she/he", or "they".
Tune in next week, when we explore the wonders of parenthases

POOR GRAMMER x3!
Now Jeff, really it should read; "Let me rephrase my last post, since I cannot edit my poor punctuation. Out of the seven bands that played last night, we were selected as one of the two to continue on to the provincials at Delta, February 22nd"
Remember:
-Always insure you use the proper spelling on all words, even though the word may be as simple as 'that'.
-If you open qoutations, remember to close them. They don't close themselves.
Jeff, I can hardly wait for next weeks lesson.

POOR GRAMMAR x4
Now, Kyle. It should read;
'POOR GRAMMAR x3!
Now, Jeff. Really it should read; "Let me rephrase my last post, since I cannot edit my poor punctuation. Out of the seven bands that played last night, we were selected as one of the two to continue on to the provincials at the Delta, February 22nd"
Remember:
-Always insure you use the proper spelling on all words, even though the word may be as simple as 'that'.
-If you open a quotation, remember to close it, they don't close by themself.'
Be aware of when and when not to use a period or comma; to comma sentence splices use semi-colons(;).

what other band was picked to go on?
awesome job guys!
Jeff McGuigan - January 29, 2006 10:59 PM
Okay. So I got excited, and technically it is next week. The other day Jeff had a few questions about the IE rule.
Well, Jeff. You see, 'I' before 'E', except after c. Or when sounded like ay; As in neighbor and weigh.
This is a good rule to remember, but there are even more exceptions than those noted in the rhyme. Among them:
* caffeine
* counterfeit
* either
* forfeit
* surfeit
* neither
* foreign
* sovereign
* heifer
* heir
* leisure
* protein
* seize
* sheik (which is, however, pronounced like shake by some speakers)
* their
* veil
* weird
It' best just to commit these weird words to memory.

Wow... you guys never cease to amaze me!
Jeff MacKenzie - January 30, 2006 5:27 PM
Thanks, Jeff. I still think it's a pretty crappy rule though, seeing as there is so many exceptions. It's more of a guildline I guess..
