I\u2019ve been working with the\u00a0<strong>Handsome Poets<\/strong>\u00a0(and believe me, they ARE! Inside and out!) on a new project \u2013 you\u2019ll hear about it later this year. It\u2019s beautiful for many reasons\u2026.<a href=\"http:\/\/email.elephantcs.nl\/t\/r-l-nmvkl-wtttrlhhi-s\/\">Here\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0a fun video I made with them the last session we had\u2026it\u2019s from my\u00a0<strong>\u201cStop! Grammar Time!\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0video. You\u2019ll see me (dancing in a bra) and talking lyrical shizzle with Tim, the Handsomest Poet.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m also continuing to get the most out of Sharon and Robert\u2019s lyrics on the new\u00a0<strong>Within Temptation<\/strong>\u00a0album. I have been working with WT for nearly a\u00a0<strong>decade<\/strong>\u00a0now, and I consider them friends, not just clients. I almost forget how hugely famous they are, as they are so unbelievably down-to-earth (no, we don\u2019t say \u2018sober\u2019 for that), kind, compassionate, great parents and hugely warm people. Lovely. And then I click on their\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/email.elephantcs.nl\/t\/r-l-nmvkl-wtttrlhhi-g\/\">Facebook page<\/a>\u00a0and freak out because they have over\u00a0<strong>2 million likes<\/strong>! Amazing. I hope I get to work with them for the next 2 million years!<\/p>\n<p><strong>RED HOT MEDIA WOMAN?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve been living under a rock (what\u2019s it like under there?) you might not have heard that I\u2019ve been nominated by the readers of RED magazine for their\u00a0<strong>\u201cRed Hot Woman\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0award in the Media category. I\u2019d love your vote, and the voting period will end soon, so please take a moment and click on\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/email.elephantcs.nl\/t\/r-l-nmvkl-wtttrlhhi-w\/\">this link<\/a>! Thank you so much! One of the reasons I was nominated is because my new book \u201c30 Ways to Save Your Ass in English\u201d was 117% crowdfunded (Actually, 118%, but it was 117% during the time of the interview). Many people reading this right now were kind enough to support me and invest in my new book. So the fact that\u00a0<strong>we were ALL nominated\u00a0<\/strong>is an honor onto itself! Thank you once again for all your support. I can\u2019t do it without you!<\/p>\n<p><strong>GREAT SITE ON DUTCH IDIOMS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A Belgian friend (don\u2019t you love Flemish?

I used that the other day and they said it was wrong.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 from H, by email.<\/p>\n<p>Hi H! We have a pretty straightforward rule about this \u2013 funny, cheap, expensive, ugly, beautiful, and serious (among looooots of others) are all\u00a0<strong>adjectives<\/strong>. This means that they describe a person, place or thing. If the adjective has 2 syllables (beats) or less, then we use \u201cer\u201d or \u201cest\u201d to show comparison. For example \u2013 cheap, cheaper, cheapest and fancy, fancier, and fanciest (watch the spelling there!) . However, if the adjective is 3 beats or more, we use \u201cmore\u201d or \u201cmost\u201d instead \u2013 expensive, more expensive, most expensive. This means that you should have said \u201c<strong>funniest<\/strong>\u201d instead of \u201cmost funny\u201d. But you know what, darling H? If this is the worst mistake you\u2019ve made today I bet your day is still rockin\u2019! Thanks for asking!<\/p>\n<p><strong>HATE TO LOVE YOU AND LEAVE YOU<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But I have exams to grade, assignments to check, a book release party to plan, children to feed, student brains to twist, and chocolate to eat. Until we meet again in your inbox (I really like it here!), I\u2019m sending you a heart-shaped box full of golden butterflies who all fly away and return 4 minutes later with a silver tray full of sushi, a dry martini, and 3000000 chopsticks for your closest friends.<\/p>\n<p>Wit lof from buffi x<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, gorgeous!
