I've just been reading Alex C's wonderful posthumous collection of random writing, titled 'A Colossal Wreck'. I recommend it unreservedly. To see him dismissively referred to by any denizen of this list as 'something of a character' reminds me of Marx's observation that he had left some manuscript or other 'to the gnawing criticism of the mice'.

Somehow it appeared with yesterday's or today's date on it, in several news 'outlets'. Dunno how THAT happened. I was one of those misled.

But yeah, those cruise ships are awful. Never been on one myself, but they're frightful pests out on the water. They move very fast, they have zero maneuverability, and the people operating them seem to have the same mentality as drivers in SUVs, vis-a-vis smaller vessels. Oh, and they're butt-ugly. Though 'butt-ugly' is an odd phrase, isn't it? Some butts are ugly, to be sure; but so are some faces, and nobody says 'face-ugly'. And some butts are at least as good-looking as most faces.

[Marxism] Schoolmarm grammar (was: Largest execution)
== Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. == > With respect, may I note that the past tense of "hang," with reference to > executing a person, is "hanged." The past tense for a picture is "hung." Slooowly I turned. This is what philologists refer to as schoolmarm grammar. Now in fact from the earliest times there have been two 'hang' words in English, represented by Old English (= "Anglo-Saxon") 'hangian' and 'hôn' -- the former being a weak verb, past tense 'hangode', and the latter a strong verb, past tense 'heng', participle 'hangen'. 'hôn' gives us our modern hang, hung, through routine phonetic changes which are thoroughly understood. 'hangian' survives only in the shibboleth usage 'hanged' when referring to the method of execution. But both words have always been used for both. In the Anglo-Saxon translation of Genesis we find 'hine man hçng' (they hung him) in reference to Joseph's unfortunate cellmate the baker. In fact you could make a pretty good case that 'hung' is actually preferable to 'hanged' and the latter hypercorrect, since 'hangian' mostly seems to be used in an intransitive sense.
