ChanteSez … Either you are or you ain’t

Posted by onthelookoutatlantaon May 23, 2012in ChanteSez Tip of the DayLeave a comment

I almost titled this “ChanteSez … Don’t contract a typo.” But there are one too many ways to read that sentence.

So let’s get to it: Contractions are pesky. What’s a contraction? Two words — one abbreviated — joined by an apostrophe.

Here’s an easy way to remember when you really want a contraction, particularly the most pesky one, involving the word “are.”

ARE = APOSTROPHE
You are = You’re (not to be confused with “your,” a pronoun)
They are = They’re (not to be confused with “their,” another pronoun)
Are not = Aren’t

Sunday School moves to new location tonight

Tonight, Salah Ananse moves his weekly Sunday School soiree to the Sound Table after nearly a year at the Reserve atop Cafe Circa.

I’m more excited about the event now that it’s at the Edgewood Aveune favorite, just a few doors east of Cafe Circa. Expect fewer cigars, a bit less pretense — although there have always been friendly faces and no formal dress code — and maybe more dancing.

The weather’s gorgeous (and will remain in the 70s till later), so check it out tonight and every Sunday at 8 p.m. until late. No cover.
