i moved away from WA 3 months ago, to kansas. things are cheap here, however there's nothing to do(nothing that i like to do) can't wait to move back to WA.

and WA weather is like that some times. we'll get a heat wave 1-3 weeks in a year and then it's back to normal(weather changing every 5 mins :P)

Posttacular Posting Spree. I just ended it with a postjoy...


WOW...

Anyway, now that you Washingtonians get an example of how us Oregonians live all the time, realize that we can go from your normal weather to hot Cali weather in Oregon within five minutes very easily. Heatwaves are followed by blizzards, rain is followed by sunshine, often during the same day. I've been through blizzards in July, dry, snowless winters, and wet, wet, wet, days of cold during all seasons. You Washingtonians have it easy :P

Hey Urk, just wanted to drop a line to say what a great job you've been doing lately. I was a little apprehensive when I heard that you were taking over for Luke, as I thought his style was particularly lolworthy. Your first few months, things were a little rocky. Now though, it really seems like you've hit your stride, and are constantly delivering weekly updates that are well-written, richly descriptive, and very funny as well. I'm glad you're at the helm, good sir. Keep up the fine work.

And I believe your incomplete sentence was "Preferably one covering grammar and punctuation." No subject in the sentence. A better way to phrase it would be "Preferably a book covering grammar and punctuation." Extra credit, come to papa. If I cry a little bit too, could I get an A++? :)

Ok, so it doesn't rain as much as you thought it would in Seattle. What about the fact that there's nothing to do there? There's some bars and a fish market... boring! When the Space Needle is the biggest attraction a city has, that's not saying much.

Hey Urk, your grammar sucks!

Your phrase,"Preferably one covering grammar and punctuation," is an incomplete sentence. I am thoroughly disappointed in you, considering you are infact a writer for most of you publicly known day.

I'm all jokes here, but in all seriousness, I accept your challenge presented to me in a sentence that followed your blasphemous moment of improper grammar. and correct you with a properly formed sentence.


I counted 3 grammatical/spelling errors here.

I am disappointed that this discussion has turned in to a debate over whose climate is harder to live in, etc. and how the City of Seattle is this or is that; I live in the east metropolitan City of Seattle. Also, the people habitually living with in the City of Seattle, and the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue metropolitan statistical area, are the most literate in the United States of America--we are not actually of low intelligence.

To address any further debate as best my limited effort will, in the City of Seattle: it rains for much of the year, how ever precipitation per annum is actually less than many major cities in the United States of America--especially the Town of Forks, State of Washington, which is across the Puget Sound from the City of Seattle, in land the Olympic Peninsula--and much of the north eastern sea board. From the Wikipedia, see the web page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle#Climate and scroll down to the "Weather averages for Seattle, Washington."

The eastern half of the State of Washington is much hotter. The City of Seattle is subject to a oceanic-Mediterranean climate, is located with in a temperate rain forest; the north western climate of the United States of America is humid, as is the north eastern climate of the United States of America, the south eastern climate of the United States of America, and, to an extent, the middle eastern climate of the United States of America, being, by geographical logic, the Great Lakes areas--which are not the middle of the west by modern human geography.

"In your new found spare time, may we suggest you read a book? Preferably one covering grammar and punctuation. We strongly feel that this may be a wise and valuable investment of your resources.

I can identify the incomplete sentence. And i quote "Preferably one covering grammar and punctuation."

Gamer, the proud producer of ...

The Operative

Coming to an online video distributor near you in 2012. Writing is the easy part, filming is hard.

DrAcula7x, you may have found the incomplete sentence, but you failed to correct it.

Incomplete sentence: Perferably one covering grammer and punctuation.

Corrections: 1.A book covering grammer and punctuation would be perferable.
2.In your new found spare time, may we suggest you read a book covering
grammar and punctuation, perferably.

I only hope that these two qualify as correction"s" as stated in the paragraph, and that this counts as written.

That explanation about the sun was freaking hilarious.

Nice pics too, overall a pretty good update with a range of good subjects.

A quick description of the climate of Seattle:

Nine out of the twelve months of the year our weather is mostly overcast. Drizzles are common, rain is a bit rarer, and heavy rain very rare. On certain occasions during the winter we get some snowfall, usually only a couple inches. On much rarer occasions we'll get four or more inches, which is capable of disabling the city. We have a very limited response to snow simply because, even though we're one of the northernmost major cities in the continguous U.S, we almost never get any real snow. After all, snow typically happens in the upper twenties, low thirties, when there can be both cold <i>and</i> moisture, which is a temperature range that we only enter for a very limited amount of time in the winter, and usually not long enough for any serious snowfall, either ducking under or going back over withini a day or two. It's not usual for there to be only three or four inches on the ground and there to be mass school closures.

On the other hand, from early to mid-June to around early September, the sun is constantly out and rain only occurs once or twice a month, if that. It can be quite beautiful here. The only problem is, as the Update states, no one has A/C. I agree, ninety isn't that bad. It's just that, as the Update states, no one has A/C here. We only get into the nineties for a couple weeks out of the year, and triple digits are virtually unheard of (these past two years have been a bit of an oddity). It's why we've bought about seven fans over the years: they're cheaper than A/C so they're not such a waste of money for nine months, and they keep the house in the seventies when it's 105 outside.

Also, we don't complain when it hits the forties here ;) I always find it amusing when my family from Cali comes up here for a visit and are donning coats when it's sixty degrees outside.

I don't know, I don't really like those corrections. I mean, they're gramatically sound, but they don't really flow. Maybe something like "In your new found spare time, may we suggest you read a book? We recommend one covering grammar and punctuation, as we strongly feel that this may be a wise and valuable investment of your resources," would work?

Also, am I the only one that finds it sad that this entire thread is alternating between posts on the weather and posts on English grammar?
