Frustrations with grammar

[The Valkyrie]

You actually like the show, perhaps?

I'm a legal buff. Her method for how she questions litigants is really unique. I like it.

The prosecution rests.

My mother loves her ascerbic attitude.

I told her if she liked that sort of attitude that much I could just move home.

I had a coworker who appeared on Judge Judy. I watched the episode and Judy Judy called her a liar lol. She was a few sandwiches short of a picnic but nevertheless was pretty proud that she appeared on the show.

Did they compensate her for her time? I know on The People's Court, both litigants are paid money from a fund to appear on the show.

She got an all expenses paid trip to southern CA for the taping. I'm not sure if she was paid for her appearance on the show though.

When someone complains of a person' s failure to properly use " The King' s English" - I can't help feeling that they have forgotten that the king is an inbred cunt.

Language' s primary purpose is to convey ideas and information. If you are efficiently doing so - you' re doing it right.


The rest is just snobbery.

Yeah, I didn't imply that. Speaking with some intelligence is required if you want to win your court battle. Also, if you constantly heard someone saying "him and me" or "her and me" all the time, you'd start to think they really weren't all that intelligent. I just asked my 16 year old about it and she agreed. 

And no - it isn't snobbery to want to be and sound educated.

The ability to follow arbitrary rules - and the rules of grammar certainly are arbitrary  - doesn't indicate intelligence, or logic - but a willingness to acquiensse to conventiion..


If that floats your boat, great.

I' m holding out for better results.

Ok, but how are you supposed to build one on the back of an elephant without the police catching your mum at the disco?
