Sigh… I suck.

{May 8, 2006}   The Subjunctive Mood

Recently I learned another aspect of our beautiful English language: the subjunctive mood. So, I thought it would be a good idea if I were to practice it a bit here.

In order that the definition be clear, I will quote from wikipedia:

“the subjunctive is used in English to express a command, desire, hypothesis, purpose, doubt or supposition.”

For details, I encourage that everyone read from the wikipedia article. You could suppose that I were being lazy for not explaining it for you here, but honestly I must refrain from doing so, lest confusion arise due to my lack of comprehension of it.

Hmm. Were the conjunctive mood simpler to use, I would’ve tried to produce more examples for you. Actually, had it not even been for wikipedia, I wouldn’t know such mood exists for English. But anyway, right now I must give it a rest or else my head be split in half. But if anyone were to give me some suggestions, I ask that he/she submit them here as comments. And please, be nice.

Oh, may the LORD bless you for helping out a lil girl. (Oh wait, I said I weren’t going to be a little girl anymore.)

PS: etto… What was the information that I needed it be found by last Friday? If only I were able to remember… :)



{April 20, 2006}   Why does everyone flee from me?

Nothing about the Chinese language is more difficult than pronouncing the syllables with the correct pitch. For a single syllable, seven different pitches in tones are possible, all of which could have non-related meanings. For example, the syllable “tong” in one pitch would mean “chinese” but in another pitch, “to butcher.” Another example: the syllable “sic” dependent on pitch could mean “to know” or “to eat.”

And so, one english missionary learns this the hard way during his missionary work in china. He would go village to village speaking to the locals in chinese,

“I like chinese people, and I want to know you all.”

And for all of heaven’s sake he could not figure out why every man, woman and child in every village would always scream on top of their lungs and scram in all four directions as if hell is upon them.

I wish I had made this one up myself, but no… I must give mad propz to the pastor I heard this from.
