Dear Armana,

Your grammar lesson reminded me of my teacher in fifth grade, she was also my eighth grade teacher. She was a great teacher. Being a poor student, I still don't know where the semicolons should go, if there should be one space or two spaces after a period, and when to use hyphens and ellipses. She also told us (The students) about a quotation by a famous writer about using too many exclamation marks, which I hid away in the recesses of my mind and can't find it right now.

Then I had a prof. in college who told me to forget all the grammar and put the ideas on paper first, then write as if you don't want to put the pen down, then take it to a word processor and let it correct your spelling and grammar. She was jesting, of course!

Sorry, but i was travelling etc. and did not have time to complete part XV. So now i am breaking it up into two and Part XV-A has now been posted.

And Sheena,
There is a very strong prdantic streak in me so this is for you:

Semicolons: used to express a complete thought; such as a lengthy aside or a digression; which is tangentially related to the rest of the sentence. And to separate items in a series when those items contain punctuation.

Ellipses: used to indicate a pause, used to indicate omitted words in a quotation, and if the eliipses comes at the end of a sentence you still need to use an ending punctuation such as a period or exclamation mark.

Spaces: only one after a period.

Exclamation Mark: only one exclamation mark is grammatically correct. More than one is actually redundant.

Hyphens: used for numbers between tweny-one and ninety-nine, used between the numbers in a fraction, used to form compound words, used to join a capital letter to a word, used to show famly retlationsgip except in cases using 'half' and 'grand.'

Happy Reading.

Love,
Armana

dear sheena,
if i were your eighth grade eng teacher, i'd be looking for the nearest well to drown myself in for a job poorly done after seeing those exclamation marks! 😆 😆 😆

thank you for not taking my pedantic streak amiss and getting offended.
and btw, in case you hadn't noticed, my spelling skills are non-existent!

love,
Armana

Awesome part Armana! I love the way you have shown Nattu and Ranveer taking a liking to her, and of course the Pia jealousy.

My fave is always how JW cant not have Bani by his side.

👏
