all _____ sudden

September 21st, 2005 by tweyland

Is it regional to use “all of a sudden” versus “all the sudden?” The former sounds more correct to me.

Teaching English to Preschoolers with iPhones

Bitskis iPhone App

We (i.e. the creators of Pain in The English) developed a series of iPhone apps to teach preschool kids how to recognize letters and words. (My wife developed the characters and I did the coding.) Our own 4-year old daughter has been enjoying them. They are now available on Apple's App Store. You can search for "bitskis" on your iPhone, or visit the official website at bitskis.com.

If you have kids and own an iPhone, please check it out. It's $2.
