Archives | Victoria Grid Project The Victoria Grid Project is a group of photographers, artists, videographers, urbanists and writers - all interested in the city of Victoria. We come together to document everything from the mundane to spectacular areas of our city.
The idea was born from the Portland Grid Project. Once a month we randomly choose a grid from our map and document the area any way that we can. The aim of this project is to keep a continuous membership, ebbing and flowing, for many years in order to record our changing city and its residents. Nearing the end of 2007, we hope to amalgamate as many entries as possible into a gallery showing.
The bulk of our documentation will be displayed in our Flickr group, Victoria Grid Project , or our You Tube account, Victoria Grid Project. However, this website will showcase our experiences and link to the various mediums we have chosen to use.
In order to participate, you must follow the specific area for the specific month and keep your feet planted with the grid borders. Remember, there is no limit on how you choose to experience the grid just where and when. With your help, we will have a record of our city that will last for years to come.
The grid for March 2008 is H24. http://victoriagridproject.ca (3768 clicks)
Punctips Home Page The English language has been derived from many languages which have never been returned to their source. Through the Middle Ages it had numerous changes due to the fact that people stayed very close to the place where they were born. Hence we have many dialects that grew up in the English countryside together with their own words and sayings. As these people were short in literacy, in both reading and the written word, writing and spelling tended to be phonic. They were lazy in the spoken word, almost a form of spoken shorthand, as an example:
Today we would ask, "May I ask where you are going to?" The question would have been. "Where be to?"
This shorthand speech can still be found in Newfoundland and the Southwest of England. The New England States of America have traces of Elizabethan English and pronunciation of that time. The same can be said of the French spoken in the province of Quebec as being of a strong Breton origin.
This section will give you a cross-section of words that are quite often mispronounced in today's speech http://punctuationtips.com (911 clicks)
