RE: [Hornlist] Re: Horn Digest, Vol 41, Issue 20

2006-05-16 Thread Bill Gross 
On the subject of ending sentences with prepositions, people often recount a
story involving Winston Churchill. When an editor dared to change a sentence
of Churchill's that appeared to end inappropriately with a preposition,
Churchill responded by writing to the editor, "This is the kind of
impertinence up with which I shall not put." His purpose, of course, was to
illustrate the awkwardness that can result from rigid adherence to the
notion that prepositions at the end of sentences are always incorrect.

Irregardless is not a word, and constitutes a double negative. Also, a 
preposition is not a good word to end a sentence with regardless of the 
rules that YOU grew up with.

  You know, folks, much ado about nothing. Language lives, it breaths, 
it changes, it dies. Irregardless of the rules that YOU grew up with, I 
myself refuse to be harASSed by those who can't pronunciate HAIRass.

ROTFLMAO!

 Flaming another user because  
their chosen mode of communication doesn't meet your grammar  
standards doesn't only reflect on their literacy, it reflects on your  
own [digital] literacy as well.
  

Er, shirley you meant [digital] illiteracy.
