Yomamma's etiquette may have improved, but not his grammer :frown: (and don't tell me how to spell that last word). Has anyone here actually improved their language skills through posting in or reading PF ?

Yes yomamma, it's very ill. And the problem is that nobody helps you out. Here, let me start...

'Sunken' in an adjective. You can have 'a sunken treasure', for instance. It is not a verb. The correct verb to use is 'sunk', as in 'GD has sunk to a new low.'

That's your grammar lesson for the day. More of these, and you'll be a vastly improved poster ! :biggrin:

I was looking at some websites on education and a question was asked "Is less than a 4.0 GPA enough to get you into an Ivy League school?"

The answer - You do not need to have a perfect 4.0 to get into an Ivy League School. You are rated on may levels such is essay, SAT, ACT, geographical location, extracirricular activities, clubs, memberships, volunteer work, and other relevant experience. Also, keep in mind that many wealthy folks with less than a 4.0 GPA have been accepted to Ivy League schools as well. :bugeye: I guess this respondent was not one of them?
