[b]Punctuation
Punctuation is the system of symbols (. , ! - : etc) that we use to separate sentences and parts of sentences, and to make their meaning clear. Each symbol is called a "punctuation mark".
The Value of Punctuation.

full stop or period- I like English.

comma: I speak English, French and Thai.

semi-colon: I don't often go swimming; I prefer to play tennis.

colon: you have two choices: finish the work today or lose the contract.

Although there are general rules for English punctuation, there are differences of style between, for example, British and American English, some publishers and some writers. Anyone seeking guidance at an advanced level is recommended to consult a style guide (often included in good dictionaries) for their particular variety of English or editorial style.

Slang of the day: 'wimp'
A wimp is a person who is not strong, brave or confident.
Examples:
Don't be a wimp! Come on - fight it!
He is such a wimp - I bet he can't do it.
I'm afraid I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to climbing up ladders.
Can you cite an example using this phrase? Give it a try!

[size=17]but NB: If you say you are going to THE church. That means, you are going there perhaps to peep through some on-goings activities there or to visit and leave almost immediately you get to that church, so it doesn't (on the basis of English laws) mean that you are or you want to go to that church to worship. But if you wanna go there to worship, you'd say: I AM GOING TO CHURCH/MOSQUE. That means, you are going there to pray, supplicate etc. The same applies to anywhere one could go to such as: GOING TO (THE) DINING TABLE, GOING TO (THE) HOSPITAL etc...[/size]
