Grammar

Last night we had a vivid discussion with Jamie. She said that in the States they are not taught "the rules" of grammar.
Half of the highschool graduates would not know what a verb is.

is that unbelievable or what?

Something totally different;
Although C. has shoulderlength hair now, she doesn't let me do anything with it and i am thinking of cutting it.
Not short, but something more convenient. The hair she has now is great as long as you can work it into a braid or ponytail.
What do you think?
