Well, it's clear enough it's not spelling, punctuation or the use of articles!
Perhaps you could let us know what useless institution you graduated from so we know to junk any applications that have it on the resume.

I was going to suggest searching these forums, since the topic of collocations has come up before, but I can't seem to find a search button any more. Ah well. Have I gone nuts, or did we never have one? Perhaps I'm thinking of other message boards I post on.

The Longman dictionary of contempory English lists common collocations with all words.
There is also an Oxford dictionary of collocations. I have a feeling that Cobuild do something similar too.

I would second Stephen Jones!
If you ask us to help you, may we be allowed to expect you to write in conventional standardised English? Yours is an esoteric type fit for barflies or internet chatrooms!

The search button is still there Lorikeet at the top of the Teacher Discussion Forums Index after FAQ and it seems on top of post a reply. There were two fascinating discussions on collocations, souji. Should be an interesting topic to study. Glad to see that people are interested in this field and are trying to make it easier for the rest of us.

Well duh, Sally! (Is that just an Americanism now?) I can't believe I missed it, but I will use the excuse that it isn't in that place in the other message boards I use. (It's really not an excuse, but I'm grasping at straws.) The real test will be if I remember it's there the next time I want to use it.

I think it was missing for a few days along with many of the files being inaccessible so don't take it personally!

Would this forum we are on now be a chat forum or a discussion forum?

I don't believe my eyes! You arrogant sw*ne! That is one of the best ways to chase away posters.

Far be it from me to critisise the quality of the discussion, but it seems that it has degenerated from scarcasm about spelling to addressing each other with porcine adjectives.
