Neither is seperate. In high school, I had a teacher who told the class "There's 'A Rat' in separate. SepARATe. That particular lesson has stuck with me all these years.

Can you think of any other specific school lessons you've never forgotten? Interesting what sticks with us, isn't it?

When I was in high school my biology teacher would say "Do as your ordered, pour acid into water."  I will never forget that for some reason.

High school? Your lucky. I learned English from watching "Three's Company".

Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species.

Three's Company is where I learned the word "Fag". Believe it or not, in the early episodes Mr. Roper actually called Jack that quite a bit. And Helen even did it once.. I can prove it. I own the 1st 6 seasons on DVD. I was 6 or 7 when that was originally on TV.

My turn, my turn!

A lot is TWO words!

It's is the contraction of it is (not the possessive form, which would be written as its).
