Today my daughter asked me to perform in her pre primary class. I promised to perform at her kindergarten but It never occured. Hope this makes up for it. I’ll be taking down my newly finished ES-5V and giving them a bit of Old MacDonald and Incy Wincy Spider. I’ve been given six hours to prepare for the biggest crowd I’ve ever performed to.

Six hours prep time? *shakes head*
I've heard about gigs like these. Next thing you know they'll be stiffing you on your payment. Just make sure there's a sick rider, and don't take any crap during load in/load out.

Keep a weather eye out for The Wiggles security - they don't take kindly to others muscling in on their turf...

Lol. You guys crack me up. It all went well, Old MacDonald was a big hit. Had another play late in the day while the kids played in the school oval. The mothers sitting around drinking on their picnic rugs asked me to play again next Friday.

As this thread relates to a school, time to go all English Teacher on your ass...

You could not "of" worded it better, however, you could "have" worded it better.

GRAMMAR RULEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Grammar does indeed rule, but only because proper English word use lets it!! ;)

"Ass" in this usage is from the North American dialect, meaning what purists would call an 'arse'. Although it is surprising, the North American dialect is considered to be a form of the English language, by no lesser authority than the Oxford English Dictionary.

Apparently North Americans only understand "to" they have no knowledge of "too" or "two".
Only using "to" is like using tabs rather than music. One gives you an idea of what's going on, the other shows you exactly.

‘Groan’, I didn’t perform well in/at/during (please select correct word to ensure grammar is correct and communication takes place) English lessons at school.

It's a common error. It's normally because people are used to hearing "should have" generally spoken as its contraction "should've" (people rarely say the full 'should have' though they may write it down like that), which obviously sounds very very similar to "should of" and so the confusion arises.

I remember way back in primary school having a Scottish teacher who insisted everyone pronounced words the same way he did. Now considering this was in a steel town and we had 12 nationalities in our class of 34, this caused quite a few parents (mine included who were Australian born) to complain to the school that their kids were talking with an accent! When you consider that in primary school you have the one teacher for all subjects, the kids spend more waking time with their teacher than they do their parents, the result was inevitable even without his insistence on pronunciation in the manner of his forefathers.

So presumably you can recognise a 'skeemie wee shite' when you see one now then? ;)
