Thank you, Bingley; that's cute. As a bona fide member of the grammar police, I applaud it! It wasn't long after my children started school that they came home saying "ain't". It didn't take me a whole lot longer to train them out of that.
grammar police…saying "ain't"…train them out of that
There's nothing ungrammatical about ain't.
There ain't done never nothing been wrong wit 'ain't' :-)
There's nothing ungrammatical about ain't.Let's not go there, again!
The opening link also leads you to the New Yorker cartoons and other neat stuff... that will save me sneaking into my Hairdresser's to browse the magazine rack!

Such a pity the first one Rose spots isn't in fact a grammatical error.

Such a pity the first one Rose spots isn't in fact a grammatical error.
But, but...he says, "none have occurred today". Shouldn't that be none has occurred today?
Both of these constructions have arguments for them.
Yep. Both are correct. Who's gonna fire off the angry E-mail? hi Faldage
ATTN: ASp and Faldage
you two really oughta get on the same page (comically speaking).
[see respective subject lines]
{I don't suppose that was near angry enough....}
on the same page
Huh? We got the slashes both going the same way. What more do ya want?
From now on I's gone be using different nor.
I don't get it, tsuwm. For the threadnodists® it's easy to se who's referring to what. For us flatliners®, the subject of the post indicates what is being referred to.
for *this flatliner it looked like this:
Faldage

none has/none have
Yep. Both are correct. Who's gonna fire off the angry E-mail? hi Faldage
so, which are both correct... and whom were you agreeing with? (and which strip are you angry about?)
other than that, I'm just fine.
You *do have a point, tsuwm. If I'd seen Faldage's post I wouldn't have written "Yep." I shoulda quoted in blue. But I let the screen lie for a while before posting, so I can see the confusion, even though each post has a different title.
And the strip worth an angry E-mail is that which Bingley cited, noting it was a pity that the first grammatical error she finds is, in fact, not one. Bingley's the person I was agreeing with. Or either Max, one. I'm going to take an ASpirin now.
AnnaS is going to take an ASpirin now.
