JessieC Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 for homeschooling parents to always write love as "LOVE" or "looooooooove" or is it OK to just write "love"? In other words, could "My child LOVES FLL" also be written "My child loves FLL"? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginevra Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Yes. It is necessary to use some method of emphasis in order to distinguish your child's love from the more generic variety. It is the same grammatical rule that applies to teens on FB; it is incorrect to say "Hi" and include merely one exclamation point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangermom Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Did you not get the Secret Homeschooler Pact sheet in the packet? It's one of the top 30 rules of being a homeschooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyinND Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Absolutely, I'm pretty sure you'll be banned from the boards if "love" is in lowercase...:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 I guess you've never had a child who LOVES Singapore Math so much she taught herself prime factorization while you slept in, AND made you pancakes? Or a child who LOVES Latin Christina so much he decided to become a priest -- even though you're Jewish? Well, it's not my fault you buy such uninspiring curricula!
