| Actually, I was caught off guard and admitted that I did, indeed, matriculate. More than once. It was like a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders to finally come out and say "Hey, I matriculate, I like myself....". |

| Quote: |
What is the meaning of the noun gramarye?
This old word is apparently related to �grammar� in the sense of �a book of Latin grammar�, based on the idea that books in ancient languages, when not explicitly religious, were likely to contain occult knowledge of the sort prized by necromancers. Such a book could also be known by the related word �grimoire�. |
This is the line I use to sell grammar classes to private students. |

Where's that quote from, Guy?
Grammar is magick, don't you know! Always leaves me spellbound. (Spell - there's another linguistic term with occult connotations..)
'Grammar' comes from the same root as 'glamour' does too. All very dark and handsome, this. |
