Sometimes, it's good to be reminded.

You are a GRAMMAR GOD!


If your mission in life is not already to
preserve the English tongue, it should be.
Congratulations and thank you!

I "use the force" when editing text too -- well, ok, I couple reading since the age of three, and MS Word's grammar checker, and get things right most of the time.

The problem is - I work as a secretary for a boss who immigrated from Iran in the 60s, and spent a lot of his life before then taking classes in English. He IS a good speaker - and a halfway-to-decent writer. Unlike most people in the U.S. who learn English by instinct, he CAN properly argue the rules of construction.

Except when he's wrong. More to the point, when he tells me to put a sentence in correspondence that is technically correct (by some vague definitions of correct), but in general use the sentence screams *THIS IS SO FRICKIN WRONG!!!!*

And what can I say about it? "Ummm... it's wrong because ... I feel a great disturbance in the force?"

grrrrrrrrr ...
