  Regarding your comment about remembering the spelling of separate. There was a cute story in my elementary school reading book about a girl (long ago in pioneer days) getting ready for a spelling bee. One of her parents or grandparents coached her and told about how they had lost their spelling bee with the word separate because of a rat.

  The girl remembered that there is a rat and when she was given that word she won.

  I just remembered from that day on that there is a rat in separate. If you remember there is a rat, you will always spell it correctly. Otherwise I would probably spell it wrong because of the pronunciation.

  Incidentally, I was the top speller in my school, but I lost my spelling bee at the end because I spelled doctor when they wanted the abbreviation, Dr. instead of doctor. The jerk wouldn't let me spell the abbreviation when he told me I was wrong. The thing was poorly administered and I knew every word, just misunderstood what was being asked. We had studied both forms of doctor and the person reading out the words didn't distinguish when he asked. The first lesson for me about how the world is not always fair.  :)

  Tara,

  thank you so much for loving my blog, it made me speechless and I do appreciate it a lot! ;-) 

  As for correction and word SEPARATE - in my native language we say SEPAROVAT you can see there is also A and I typed sepErate. Anyway, I know why.. I just pronounced it with something like E so I also typed it like this :D

  Hi Tara,

  Thanks for the comment. In fact, I've tried to make sure if I can use "so long a time" instead of "such a long time" - I know "a so long time" isn't correct, though. I wonder if "so long a time" is possible or "grammatically correct"?

  Thanks again,

  Expector
