Recently I found myself skipping entries on my friends page, and then frequently visiting a few other people's LJ to read about them. Seems like it's about time I take a look at my flist and add/remove people again. Let's be adult about this. If you get removed from my flist please don't get offended.

Is there a good book or website where I can read up the correct use of preposition words such as "on", "in"... etc? Sometimes I'm just not sure which to use. For example, do I put books back "onto" the shelf or "into" the shelf, that sort of thing. These words are called "preposition", right? It's funny, I don't know any of these specific terms... I just know what "nouns", "verbs" and "adjectives" are! Oh I also know what "past", "present" and "future" tenses are. If you ask me about "adverbs", "pronouns", "present participle", "past perfect"... I'll just stare blankly at you. I had to look at the dictionary to find out that I'm asking about "preposition" words. ^^"

Wah, soooo many new RP logs to read at tenipuri_fusion. Why do you guys only post them when I'm on the last stretch towards finishing my report?! *kills you all*

I slept again. Someone please tell me why I'm sleeping so often.

My mother has developed an unnatural fondness for BB5. I thought she'd freak the hell out seeing what those people do if not learning what "reality TV" is. But apparently she found it entertaining. The only BB I watched was BB3 and I only watched it for Alex *L* Reality show's really not my thing.

I've registered the vote, but haven't voted ~_~ I'm not sure who to vote for so... gah I'll need to be more aware of these things next time.

Want to power-read manga like vicky_guu_sama has, but I don't have the time. Either want to sleep, or have to work.

I'm visual... I don't use grammar rules, just instinct.

Sometimes I'm just not sure which to use. For example, do I put books back "onto" the shelf or "into" the shelf,

I'd say ONTO...

If I think in French, you put the books SUR la tablette... that's ONTO... or ON...

If I was to put the books INTO the shelf, it would mean merging the books with the shelf (aka DANS la tablette) and unless your bookcase suffers a case of the "Philadelphia Experiment", that's mighty impossible...

I tend to just type and then look back at it and think "hey, is that right?" ^^"

Thanks for the help :) I probably should get one of those English exercise books... I feel so ashamed of myself having lived in London for so long and still have grammar mistakes all over the place *sigh*

onto, usually
if u use into, I guess it either means youare an alchemist, or that your sehfl is really really really deep.

i use to be really shit at prepositions when I was in primary school but now I think I am abit like you, it is abit like taking english grammar bit too much for granted, there are alot of rules but it is lost right now.

power reading through 18 volumes (110 pages each) has been a big challenge indeed, and I do recommend you to read it, afterall, in a week, you have all the time u wanna :)

Oh but you know, I can use 念力 and that would be fusing the book to the shelf.

(and here comes to question again, is it fusing TO the shelf? I think it is...)

Yeah I know what you mean... *sigh*

Yeah!!! But I gotta get through the week first ^^"

Hmm... It's 'onto' without a door and 'into' if there is a door on the cupboard... ^^ If you get what I mean... ^^;;
