The human torch was denied a bank loan.

When I said I was a grammar geek, I didnt mean to claim I was good at it, only that I spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about it. I think I prefer its mistakes rather than its perfection.

A couple more questions from yesterday.

This is some apple cider that my grandfather made.
This is some apple cider, which my grandfather made.

Why the comma? Something to with dependent clauses perhaps?

Also:

Godzilla is the strongest monster in Japan.
Godzilla is the strongest of all monsters.

One student really wanted to write, "Godzilla is the strongest in all monsters", as thats how it translates from the Japanese. I told him to go ahead.
