Quotable Quotes

[jhameia]

Venue: Writing Centre.
What we're doing? Well, I'm chilling, but Mike is working on a grammar module for ESL students (artcles and nouns, to be precise). Ashley's working on a presentation.

Mike: Did you guys know that cheese is a non-countable noun?

Me: Well, yeah. You can't count cheese. Unless you're talking about, like, different types of cheeses, then you can make a non-countable into a countable noun.

Mike: I don't know why, but it just never occurred to me... Cheese is a non-countable noun!

Ashley: Sorry, what's a non-countable noun?

Me: Basically stuff you can't count.

Mike: Yeah, non-countable nouns are things that're bigger than you... sadness... faith... cheese...

Probably one of those things you just had to be there for, I guess.

Ohh cheese how I love thee, and I shall attempt to count you, even though the English language prohibits me from doing so, unless you have another type of cheese. Sadness, but have faith young cheese for I shall find a way to count you...

notice how I used sadness, faith, and cheese in one sentence... I lead a sad sad life... *hangs head in shame*
