Sigh...given some snazzy graphics this could have been a "news" item for the "Onion." :-( Although your example seems and is extreme, it is about time logic was applied to the english language. Each and every generation must wade though all these english rules and "special cases." Nonsense, JS, EVERY human language has its peculiarities, rules, and convoluted forms.

Darn, where is Mark when 'ya need him? ;-) Regards, JS Heck. Mark has been writing like that for decades. He even said, "I realy don't write that badly I do write in ore european mode [sic]" So, what you call laziness, Mark calls economy of effort. Maybe he is simply ahead of his time. Or stupid. |
