"At the first annual X Marks the Scot Literary Awards Ceremony, the Kilties."

Speaking of writing... one of the rules is, there's no such thing as a "first annual." The first occurrance of what is intended to be an annual event is the "inuagural." An event can't be annual until you've had it more than once.

Also, there is "a rat" in "separate," and "accommodate" has two c's and two m's. I also know the difference between "that" and "which." And that, in a nutshell, is everything I remember from my time in the William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Kansas. Prof. Lazzarino would be so proud.

Yeah, but with all the dimension-hopping and messing about with the time-space continuum, although it's the first one we had, I'm not sure it's the first one we've held.:crap:

Rob Wright mentioned that he has writings available off-site. Does anyone else out there post elsewhere as well?
If it's risque, warn us in advance. Thanks.

I just got an invitation to the ninth annual Kilties in 2017, with a letter telling me I am up for an award for the tenth year in sucession so I think there might be a Zeroth one in the offing. So that would make the First one 'annual' as it is the year after the one we will have held last year.

I think I am getting the hang of this time line business.

It is all logical if you look at in the right way.
