    Ride and rode are the same as verbs, as rode is the past tense of ride.

    Road of course is something to be ridden on, unless you prefer to ride off road.

    Funny - this has been bothering me for a long time. I almost posted something here, but I was afraid that I couldn't say it nicely, so I posted it in my blog instead - http://denisegoldberg.blogspot.com/2...rds-words.html.

    Veronica -
    Thanks so much for finding a nice (and funny) way to point out this error in grammar!

    Hmmm, Does The Wonder Poodle piddle in puddles while pondering petals while peddling for pettles??

    OT, but I can't resist telling what I just found out...

    While reading a book (a very good one), I found out that Kitsune means "fox" in Japanese! The characters that form the word can also be interpreted as "come and sleep."

    So, Kitsune, does this mean you are a foxy lady?

    (By the way, the book was "Plum Wine" by Angela Davis-Gardner.)

    ...sorry for the interuption... back to your regularly scheduled program!

    Don't worry, it's early. I'm chasing your post around the board, replied @ the 'consider this' thread, only to discover you *moved it*! Have some more coffee. Kitsune means 'fox' but also relates to fox spirits, who would manifest themselves as (yup) beautiful young women (among few others). And yup, some etymologies have it that "kitsu-ne" means "come and sleep" and "ki-tsune" which means "always comes". The Japanese view of Kitsune as yokai has fit me decently for quite awhile...

    Some days I have a harder time hiding my tail than others!

    I'm a Grammar Grinch too. Which is pretty officious of me, considering I hardly speak English any more.

    The one I really hate is "loser". Spelt "looser". Arg!

    Funny thing, it bugs me less when English speakers misspell it (hey, they just can't spell) than when Norwegians, trying to be kreatif and unusual, misspell it. It's not cool to use a phrase in a foreign language if you can't SPELL it!
