TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23RD, 2010, "WEEKDAY" E-LETTER		*"Very usefull to me."* T. Nguyen, Australia, 15.02.08
"ASIDE" Category: "adverb, noun" Example Sentence: "He put it aside." "Aside" is an adverb or noun which can mean "in reserve". "USING 'SHALL' IN BRITISH ENGLISH" "Traditionally, the modal verb shall could be used with the first person singular (I) and plural (we) instead of will in British English. This is still true, but it is becoming less and less common in everyday language, though it is still reasonably common in formal language. It can be found in a lot of formal writing and can be used in formal spoken language- after a disaster, say, politicians may be heard using it to add a tone of seriousness to the talk." "REFERENCE.COM" "Reference.com is a multi-source encyclopedia search service produced by Dictionary.com, LLC, a leading provider of language reference products and services on the Internet." "ORGANISING" "What different ways are there to organise things? Please write 250-300 words."
