abraxaszugzwang commented on the word st. vitus' dance
Chorea sancti viti (Latin for "St. Vitus' dance") is an abnormal involuntary movement disorder, one of a group of neurological disorders called dyskinesias. The term chorea is derived from a Greek word khoreia (a kind of dance, see chorea), as the quick movements of the feet or hands are vaguely comparable to dancing or piano playing.

Yes, please do! I also included a link to the song in the comments section of yesterday's strip (the one with the little sad dog). http://gocomics.com/frogapplause/2008/07/11/

You have to say suggest to in English, Pro, ie. the ultimate recipient can't be a direct object. So:
I will suggest another song to you. OR,
I will suggest to you another song.

No bilby,
you another song soon is the title. It's a Korean love song.

A likely story. As soon as your exam's over you plague our language with grammatical unpardonables.

I'm thinking about including more music links for my strips. Theme music for the day! I love world music. Here's a Persian clip that I listen to often.

Prolagus, don't let bilby snow you. You do not have to say "suggest to", you can also say "suggest for".

Wow! *dances in the snow*

sionnach commented on the word st. vitus' dance
"I will suggest to you another song".
sounds a bit archaic to me, too reminiscent of
"Yea, verily, I will suggest unto you another song".
I'd just omit the indirect object altogether; it's obvious from the context.

Thank thee, sionnache.

It's dontcry. She's in full-on cupcake mode in the hope of exterminating every last whiff of marmite from her house.
