Hi Reg,

My cat Blacky sent that one while walking across the keyboard - purely
his choice, he usually prefers the privacy of email. He would have
added some comment, but you might know how cats change their mind in
the middle of things.

Richard, I'm afraid I don't understand you. And I doubt if anybody
else does either.

For some inexplicable reason you have reverted back to Shakesperian
poetry.

Come back to plain American English. Try the other English (or Irish)
playright and iconoclast, George Bernard Shaw.

And I hope you don't object if I begin some of my sentences with
'And'.

And why would you want to do that, Reg? I thought that only people
of my cultural persuasion began their sentences with 'And'.
G.B. Shaw had his moments. He once wrote, "If you do not say
a thing in an irritating way, you may as well not say it at all,
since nobody will trouble themselves about anything that does not
trouble them."

And, there is much truth there Tom... those thoughts are right on!

Warmest regards,

Hi Reg,

That's OK, we understand each and every chunk of offering you toss to
the dog pack. Some is like horse meat, some like fish. If we tried
to put it back together we get a chimera. Sorry for that long word,
but enough readers already understand.

And I hope you don't object if I begin some of my sentences with
'And'.

I'm surprised you are really interested in grammar at all! No
objection, more work is necessary, but you do show initiative. ;-)

Tom,

Your particular cultural persuasion really doesn't really enter the
discussion. It could be North American Red Indian. It sounds OK by me.
I imagine most spoken languages admit to the use of 'and' anywhere
within the spoken sentence. It is only natural that occasionally it
should appear at the beginning of the written sentence.

I mentioned it to my friend Richard Clark because of the possibility,
of so doing, it may cause irritation and thereby draw his attention to
what I was waffling about. There are some silly academic objections to
the use of 'And' at the beginning of a written sentence.

I was unaware of G.B.Shaw's ideas on how to conduct an irritating
conversation. Thank you very much for drawing my attention to his
remarks.

It is also pleasing to learn that some US citizens are familiar with
the works, not just the plays, of GBS. His works have been turned by
Hollywood into film - such as Ingrid Bergman as "Saint Joan". But
GBS was not happy with the script. The political content of his play
was distorted beyond recognition. But that's just Hollywood's
pro-american propaganda for you.

Reg:

Actually, both you guys are right on, "and" yes--I have always
thoroughly enjoyed British theatre and writers... I think their American
counterparts have always played a game of "catch up." Today "special
effects", sex and "painted blondes" and "action" replace the sorely
missed good strong actors and artists...

Warmest regards,
John

Hi Reg,

They should've stayed with GBS' pro-British propaganda? Or rather his
anti-British propaganda? What you offer sounds like a plagiarized
play program note.

George Bernard Shaw was a Fabian socialist. He believed that the aim
of most people of the society of his day was to become so wealthy as
to become economic parasites who didn't produce and didn't contribute.
He didn't like this, so he preached against it in his works. Since
producing wealthy parasites was what the business side of Hollywood
has always been about, it's no wonder they emasculated his script.

For me, the biggest advantage of the Smith Chart is that I can
carry it around in my head. It is a graphical math model of
a transmission line. A picture is worth a thousand calculators.

Old sayings:

A word is worth a thousand pictures ... if it's the right word.
