Another Grammar Comic

Frazz is an excellent comic strip about a grade school janitor and a collection of precocious kids. This strip reminds me of the difference between healthy and healthful. I also agree with Mrs. Olsen, and she’s not being snobbish. One of the tricks to learning English is to know which prepositions go with which nouns.
And just so you know,
Purposely—intentionally.
Purposefully—with determination. Like purposely, only stronger.
Healthful—causing a state of good health.
Healthy—in a state of good health.
