Thread Name: Long and short
Subject: RE: Long and short
Spaw - what the hell is the matter with you? Are you trying to get me fired???? Our biggest account is defaulting on a $250,000 debt and I am sitting here giggling!

Spaceman - so many serious questions about teaching kids to sing. Can you tell us a little about what exactly you do? Private lessons? Public School? Special Ed.? When these "odd" questions come out of the blue, Spaw can't help himself. He just types whatever comes into his head. For the record and in his defense, I managed to catch myself before typing a lot worse.

With some background, you will probably get some useful information. And a sense of humor is required around here if you are going to survive. None of the above postings are meant to be mean or demeaning, just funny.
I can give you a basic lesson in scanning dactyls and spondees for your class if it will help. And some basic rules on how to know if a sound is scanned long or short. But why do six-year-olds need this?
