11 Things you Didn't Know About Hunger Games Trailer and Thursday's Grammar Tip



If you aren't a Hunger Games fan you may not be interested in this trailer, though it does have lots of interesting trivia, including recasting the cat in the first film and costumes that presented some unusual problems.

Thursday's Grammar Tip

Do you ever have to stop and think whether it's hear, hear or here, here when you want to add an exclamation of agreement to someone's statement? I admit, I do on occasion. The correct term is hear, hear. How to remember...It's a derivative of  Hear him. Hear him.

That's another movie on my to-watch list.

I've never used that phrase before, so that would confuse me.

DEZMOND said...

yep, knew about hear, hear, but I'm often not sure if it's hear ye, hear ye, or hear yee, hear yee :) but spell check usually solves the problem :)

Good on hear and here. And sorry, not fan of the that series.

Truedessa said...

hear, hear...hear as in listening to what is said...reminds me of when someone does a roll call and you say here...then you get the one person who will say present..haha..I am not sure why that came to mind. Have a good day!

Keep grammar alive. Hear, hear!

Pat Hatt said...

I've heard hear hear said, but never said it, not sure how I would have spelled it

Stephanie Faris said...

I always think it's hear, hear, but it's a strange saying, isn't it?

Liz Blocker said...

Love the movies!! Can't wait to see the next one!

I didn't know "hear him" is the origin of that expression. That actually really does help me remember! Thank you :)

Birgit said...

For some reason I have yet to see these films. The premise of the film, for me, feels ugly but I know I have not given it a chance. So Hear, Hear! to when I actually watch it:) I probably got the commas and all that wrong...oh well

The author of the book and I share the same birthday

Sandra Cox said...

It's an older term.
Once you see the movie, let me know if you like it.

Sandra Cox said...

Now you've given me another one to worry about, Dez.
:)

Sandra Cox said...

It's not everyone's cup of tea.

Sandra Cox said...

You have a good day too, Truedessa.
:)

Sandra Cox said...

:) Well said.

Sandra Cox said...

You probably would have spelled it perfectly:)

Sandra Cox said...

You're right, Steph. It is strange.

Sandra Cox said...

Hi Liz, I've enjoyed the movies and loved the books, but I'm afraid this last one is going to be pretty dark. I'm still going to see it of course:)
Glad the hear him helped. Hopefully, I'll remember it too:)

Sandra Cox said...

Hey Birgit,
I wouldn't say its ugly, but it is dark.
If you ever do watch it, let me know what you think.

Sandra Cox said...

That's a fun fact.

The Happy Whisk said...

I haven't seen this movie. Not my cuppa.

Sandra Cox said...

That is okay:) It's not every ones.
