Sir, Joe!
Why do we need to capitalize the first-person singular personal pronoun "I" whether it is located in the beginning, middle or at the tail end of a sentence?
Thanks indeed, Sir.

Use and Misuse / The Word of the Day for May 31, 2009 is: spurious • \SPYUR-ee-us\•
« on: May 31, 2009, 08:10:57 PM »
Hello, Sir Joe,
I always read the Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day everyday online but I am being confused with its example sentence today for the usage of the word "spurious." It says, "Reid’s claim that his grandfather was friends with Mickey Mantle sounded spurious to me, and I didn't believe it until he showed me a photo of his grandfather alongside the legendary slugger."
Isn't should be, "Reid claims or claimed that his grandfather was friends with Mickey Mantle sounded spurious to me, and I didn't believe it until he showed me a photo of his grandfather alongside the legendary slugger?."
Thanks indeed, Sir Joe.

Hello, Sir Joe,
Are English and Language Teachers the same? Are the expressions, "dine in" and "take out" correct usage?
We are very excited to get a copy of your latest book entitled, "Give Your English the Winning Edge."
Thanks indeed, Sir Joe.

Getting to Know English / Re: Plugging the Gaps in Our English, Part 1

Hello, Sir Joe!
Greetings with all due respect!
Thank you very much indeed for giving me a chance to learn more about the romance of the English language and be a part of your forum.
Is it correct to say, " Be careful in driving or drive carefully"? Which sentences are grammatically acceptable, Drive carefully, be careful in driving, drive cautiously, be cautious in driving? I would prefer to use "Be cautious in driving or drive cautiously. I am also confused about "Hi" and "Hello." Because my girlfriend attended a seminar on English proficiency and she told to me that one of the speakers said that "Hi is for Hi and Hello is for Hello." I am puzzled because I used to answer "Hi" to the person who greeted me "Hello." Please, help me out in understanding the rules in grammar which govern these sentences.
Thank you very much and more power.
Very respectfully yours,
Reagan
