Vermontdave Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 I always thought it was either aint or arent, but it turns out that it's albeit. peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 As far as adverbial conjunctives go, I'd have to go with a nevertheless or nonetheless. Beats me, really, why.Anybody else here get the line running through their head - "conjunction junction, what's your function...."? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Actually, Evil I did. I really did. Apparently Sesame Street brainwashed more than a few of us as kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 undoubtedly; otherwise, on the other hand, at the same time, works well also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snail Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Ok, you got me too on the "conjunction, function" theme. Pushed out that dancing cheese wheel guy that Family Guy managed to resurect tonight... also from those mid-seventies saturday mornings. I'm not so sure that was Sesame St. though I think they just used that during commercial breaks to "educate" us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvet Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 The guy who wrote and sang most of the Schoolhouse Rock stuff hosts Sunday brunch every weekend at the Iridium in NYC. Remember that dude that tried to get us to eat healthy? The roundish guy who spent a lot of time in the fridge. I remember the line, "don't make a face before you taste it, some kids think it's great."What was that affiliated with? It wasn't Sesame, I wonder if it was connected to Schoolhouse Rock?

Calamity Jane Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 My favourite conjunction, especially when I get on a rant, is 'furthermore'. (though I'm kinda unclear whether it's a conjunction or a transition word. Dave would know -- he actually wears the grammar pants in the family!!btw, awesome link Brad -- now I can sing the whole song!I teach the "FANBOYS" to my students. No, they're not Madonna's backup singers, they are in fact.....?any guesses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoodRev Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 My personal favourite Schoolhouse Rock was Family Guy's interpretation."Vagina junction, what's your function?""Takin' in sperm and spittin' out babies!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calamity Jane Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 teachermarking & planning, 24/7 it seems (couldn't you have guessed based on your observed behaviour of Meggo?)how come nobody knows what "FANBOYS" refers to in a thread about conjunctions?

Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Hint - I ask every class to cough up a better anagram, because FANBOYS always makes me think of cheesy boy bands. So far the best one anyone's come up with has been SNOBFAY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
