I am not in the US so cannot be prosecuted by the federal government
and I have not applied for any grant proposal. So clearly I have
nothing to worry about.
"Devotees of grammatical studies have not been distinguished for any
very remarkable felicities of expression." - Bronson Alcott
"Correct spelling, indeed, is one of the arts that are far more
esteemed by schoolma'ams than by practical men, neck-deep in the heat
and agony of the world." -Henry Louis Mencken in his book ironically
enough the The American Language
"Ignorant people think it is the noise which fighting cats make that
is so aggravating, but it ain't so; it is the sickening grammar that
they use."
-Mark Twain
Clearly while your being a school ma'am giving out report cards and
all, I will carry on being neck-deep in the world. So while wou will
never make "any very remarkable felicities of expression." at least I
have a chance. Though clearly if this is as strong your flaming gets
well I don't have much to worry about.
