 This is a fantastic primer on the parts of speech. Much of the info is from this glorious behemoth of a book, which would only set you back $285.  A few of the rules put forward in this article, however, seem to be intentionally broken in modern online or text speak. Some are ignored, but it does allow for "because noun" slang. Because language change, people.

  I've literally put my money (and my time and sanity) where my mouth is and have started a Masters in Applied Linguistics through OU . (OK, technically, it's an MA in Education with a concentration in AL, but whatevs.) It's a bananas amount of work, considering I'm doing this for fun. I'm going to try posting here regularly in hopes that when I need to write papers I'll have something to draw on. We'll see.
