Default Re: Learn Grammar; I didn't!

Ah, yes, my comma should have been a semi-colon, sorry:

Morphology: spelling (pick an example); PPs (I *drunk beer)

Please note "PPs" for past participles (i.e., "drunk" a main verb?). Spelling was not at issue. Morphology was.

suppos*ubly - I've never heard that.
It's North American; e.g., Joey on Friends uses "supposubly".
Quote:
"sometimes" after the subject and before the auxiliary "have". That's not where it typically goes,
Right, I agree. It's not "un"acceptable, but is it (traditionally) grammatical?

That'd be a good topic to follow-up on. What is the Standard position for "sometimes"?
