My next door neighbor is a Church (Self Realization Fellowship) Founder was Hindu and much of the Church appears to be just that except they include elements from many world religions.

Cool people really but when I crank up my Bar-B-Q and slap on the meat, I no the neighbors are not so much so happy as they are Veggy eaters only.

Why do you have is and was in the same sentence? Your sentence isn't clear and doesn't make sense. Did you mean "My next door neighbor, who is the founder of a Church, was Hindu"?

The Rules of Grammar

"I am almost sure by witness of my ear, but cannot be positive, for I know grammar by ear only, not by note, not by the rules. A generation ago I knew the rules—knew them by heart, word for word, though not their meanings—and I still know one of them: the one which says—but never mind, it will come back to me presently."

"Great books are weighed and measured by their style and matter, and not the trimmings and shadings of their grammar."

"The Queen's English"
"There is no such thing as the Queen's English. The property has gone into the hands of a joint stock company and we own the bulk of the shares."

"Adjectives"
As to the Adjective: when in doubt, strike it out."


"Verbosity"
"I notice that you use plain, simple language, short words and brief sentences. That is the way to write English—it is the modern way and the best way. Stick to it; don't let fluff and flowers and verbosity creep in. When you catch an adjective, kill it. No, I don't mean utterly, but kill most of them—then the rest will be valuable. They weaken when they are close together. They give strength when they are wide apart. An adjective habit, or a wordy, diffuse, flowery habit, once fastened upon a person, is as hard to get rid of as any other vice."

Samuel Clemmons never said that deliberately typing gibberish was acceptable, old man.

I am not an old man.
