See what I mean when I say that my standards have been on the decline?Originally posted by Rhonda:OK, let me rectify that. 'A lot' is not the proper collective noun to use on mice.

Hey! How come Rhonda got the picture of how I used to look like huh....?!

Yep, thats why one of the highest ranks in the Army could come up with Mee Siam Mai Hum.Originally posted by fudgester:x3.
Simply put, two years in the army with lots of exposure to Malay/ Hokkien/ Cantonese vulgarities can do much to blunt one's standards in English.

Reminds me of one idle evening at work when my Aussie colleague, one of the few Aussies who are actually good in English, and I sat down and tested each other in collective nouns!
Try these :
A G---LE of Geese
A SH--L of fish / A SC---L of fish
A B-V- of Beauties
A -E-D of Buffaloes -
Actually, i never knew what the fuck is collective noun

so if you don't use a lot, then what do you use when you don't know the number? multitudes of? many?Originally posted by Rhonda:OK, let me rectify that. 'A lot' is not the proper collective noun to use on mice. -

Well, I've been trying to keep my standards up by reading lots of magazines (Time, Newsweek, the Economist) in my spare time. My elder sister is a GP tutor at a local JC, and she brings home such magazines on a regular basis.Originally posted by Rhonda:It hasn't! You're fluent! I'm just... obsessed...
I also try to write entries in my blog as fluently as I can. -

I was cracking my brain and the word gaggle just appeared.
I must have come across the word somewhere at some point in my life -

You know how there'll always be questions on environment, poverty etc, that require lots of reading of notes? I'd just pick the 'odd' questions that are impossible to study for e.g. Why is color important?
