    Self-correction: I should have credited Merlyn with mentioning the "catty corner" variation.

    I just wanted to let you know that "kitty corner" is a regional expression in the United States and not used universally in that form. "Kitty-corner" is commonly heard in the Upper Midwest (Chicago and points north) and New England areas, but farther south in the United States -- such as Indianapolis, where I'm from -- you will more often hear "catty-cornered" or "catty-corner" (as mentioned by Alice). So if you travel south of Chicago and say, "Kitty corner," you may get some puzzled looks!

    Hello!

     

    I concur with Adrian's corrections, with two additional thoughts:

     

    1. Your spelling of "practice" is correct in the United States.

    2. If I were speaking informally, I would change your next-to-last sentence to say:

    "I would rather study and watch TV on Sunday than hang around in a bar." 

     

    However, your sentence makes me wonder: Do you generally study AND watch TV on Sunday? The two activities often conflict -- that is, it can be difficult to study with the TV on.

     

    Do you mean to say, "I would rather study or watch TV on Sunday than hang around in a bar."
