Thanks Cas!

I've just knocked up a page for Interjections using the references you provided: https://www.usingenglish.com/glossary/interjection.html

What d'ya think? Ok? Or does it need more work? ;-)

Regards,

Sweet! 8)

What about...adding in a few examples HERE so the reader can get an idea of what an interjection looks like? 8)

USE:
An interjection is a short word or phrase used in speech to gain attention, to exclaim, protest or command (HERE). Interjections can be used to show emotion such as suprise or shock (HERE).

Interjections are often found at the beginning of a sentence, especially in speech, and are commonly followed by an exclamation point or a comma (HERE).

All the best, :D :D
