Generations of mollusks abandon all hope.
Thank you.
can you supply some context?
In the first example:
Yoong Liat asks a lot of questions.
Young Liat asks a lot of questions.
The second sentence is correct:
Young Liat asks a lot of questions.
In the second example:
Yoong Liat questions are asked.
Young Liat questions are asked.
Neither is correct. It should be:
Young Liat's questions are asked.
In the third example:
"What is the question?", asked Young Liat.
"What is the question?", asked Yoong Liat.
Neither is correct because of a punctuation error. It should be:
"What is the question?," asked young Liat.
And the last sentence:
Generations of mollusks abandon all hope.
Correct!
You are welcome.
I am falling in love with Stray Cat.
Help me.
If I could blush......I would.....
Stray Cat, you are one furry funny.
Gus, why aren't you out pitching woo? Leave poor yoong Liat alone!
Are the semantics correct in that interrogative, and does the exclamatory come across properly?
Stray Cat, here's the deal: It is early on a Saturday afternoon and most of the A2Kers are still fast asleep.
Who the hell would know if you and I knocked off a quickie?
Jesus, Stray, we only live once.
gus is pretty funny, too. But he missed out one question:
Are many of Yoong Liat's questions the same?
Regarding Yoong Liat's questions are many the same?
Should there be a comma in that sentence, and if so, where?
Many thanks.
Mame, I think you are Yoong Liat. I think this is some sort of Canadian conspiracy to get us Yankees to stumble over the language.
You, my sexy, grandmotherly friend, are devious.
And I love you so.
You tart.
Oh! You're giving me tingles up my spine, you rascal!
Okay, it's true! I am Yoong Liat and it IS a conspiracy! How very very clever of you to figure it out.
You deserve some kind of reward for being so smart... would you like me to give you a hand....
washing your capybaras this weekend?
Mame. How could you? That was just plain mean. Gus is a fragile flower not to be toyed with.

That should be:
"Gus is a fragile flower, not to be toyed with."
I have always found the comma mild and inoffensive; unlike that Gottverklempten arsehole, the fierce and intractable semicolon.

Haven't you heard? Anything I say is mean, in any language. And Gus deserves it anyway... apparently he has 6, count 'em - 6 nipples. Eww.
I think Gus is a venture capitalist in a penthouse in Chicago, with a helicopter and a Lear jet.
But this is not enough. He gets bored sometimes.
Am I right?

Personally, I have eight.
Wow, Mame. No wonder he has so many capybaras.
Deb, you were always the competitive sort. Eight nipples? That might actually be......interesting................hmmm.
