Video

I tried to set this video up as a gadget but it won't let me post just one video. So I will just link it here. As you may or may not know I was once an English professor at a uni in Korea. So I know stuff about grammar. More than I care to. Like the last sentence is not really a sentence. Neither was the previous one. One also shouldn't start sentences with conjunctions such as 'and', 'but', or 'or'. (Although transitions like 'also' are OK even though they mean the same as 'and'.) And (oops, my bad) yes I notice when people spell words wrong, use atrocious grammar ('I did good'...no...'I did well') and when my/our professors use bad grammar on their power points after giving us "recommendations" as to how to improve our writing on assignments. The irony. Whatever. We are all human and make mistakes. So what's my point? Oh yeah, my point is the message in this video is really cool. When read backwards it has the opposite meaning of when read forward. It is also insightful and inspirational. Check it out.

I see the irony of my spelling comment and I have gone back to check and correct all my "typos" haha.
