Quoth Marc Thiessen:
“But for all his posts, Josh fails to address the central question I raised in my first post: Why is the Obama administration telling Abdulmutallab that he has the “right to remain silent”?”I joke about Conservatism being akin to Sociopathy, but, I mean, christ, sometimes the similarities are seriously striking.
“Finally, a couple of people just couldn’t stomach the following admittedly rather complex sentence of mine:
William Strunk was a professor of English at Cornell about a hundred years ago, and E.B. White, later the much-admired author of Charlotte’s Web, took English with him in 1919, purchasing as a required text the first edition, which Strunk had published privately.
I did overestimate the reading age of Fark commenters. And naturally they assume that my piece is an exemplar of style, not a set of claims about why Americans are confused about grammar. So to train me in Strunkian style, we’re going to make me say that again using only simple active clauses with no needless words:
Strunk was a professor. Cornell employed Strunk. Strunk taught English. A century has passed. Strunk published Elements. Strunk paid the bill. The edition number was 1. Cornell admitted E. B. White. White took English. The year was 1919. White bought Elements. Many years passed. White wrote Charlott’s Web. People admired White.
