Extremely respectable doesn’t cut it. Serves me right for second guessing the questions in the Advanced section.

Back to school for me.

How do you use ‘do’?

I’ve been wondering about this for a long time. When is it acceptable to use ‘do’?

For example, what’s the difference between: “I appreciate it” and “I do appreciate it”?

Emphasis?

Hmmm…

I’m not sure. Sometimes, it sounds wrong. Sometimes it sounds right. I can’t seem to tell when.

English experts… please help!

This brought to mind a recent Rocketboom segment on the same topic. Great for those the visually-inclined. George Dubya and his administrators feature quite a bit. I have to admit I have been guilty of some of these fallacies. I’ll try to avoid them. (Direct link.)
