Is Linguistica the publisher?
Ww, I transcribed the data on the dust jacket as is. Looks like an endash to me (and that's how I typed it in the entry), but it might be an emdash (and worse yet, it has spaces on both sides of it). But you're probably right. There was no publisher, or in other words, Dr Robert A. Hall, Jr., was the publisher in that he paid for the book to be published. j.

No one talks about big old ladies
Maybe about big old gals.

Although nobody would say that there is something wrong grammatically with big old ladies.

Todays quote after the Word A Day.
It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell. -William Tecumseh Sherman, Union General in the
American Civil War (1820-1891)
An example of how a comma would have made the sentence clearer...there needs to be a comma after the word WOUNDED or the "who cry aloud for blood" is associated with the wounded instead of those who've never fired a shot, na.

Yes, I think Anu is being very pertinent in his quote.

Yo, jheem, what does your subject line refer to?I was thinking of the WC Field's movie Tillie's Punctured Romance (1928). It was a remake of a Chaplin flick of the same name from 1914. It's not supposed to be very good, but I haven't seen it. It, in turn, was based on a play. http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0019478/http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0004707/
