Hey Moi

Post by MacTheWolf (imported) »

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.

MacWolf now waits to see if Moi goes off to blow up something :)

Whose woods these are I think I know.

Or maybe NOT.

😄

This calls for some 🚬

Something meditative but with a bit of body.

Maybe a Sativa such as Jack Herrer.

Or a good Indica such as Master Bubba with a little Sativa for body.

Suggestions from active heads appreciated.

9 famous quotes that are (technically) grammatically incorrect

From a Yogi Berra-ism to the Second Amendment, America's best-known sayings aren't exactly paragons of linguistic perfection

1. To boldly go where no man has gone before.

This line (and its newer version, with no one in place of no man) is as famous for being "wrong" as it is for being from the intro to each episode of Star Trek.

What's "wrong"? It's a "split infinitive," with boldly improperly between to and go.

Is it really wrong? No. The "rule" against split infinitives is just a grammatical superstition. It was invented in the 1700s by a grammarian who wanted to "improve" the language along Latin lines. English, however, is not Latin, and the option of putting words between to and the verb root has always existed and has often been made use of by respected authors. There are times when a sentence works better if you don't do it, sure; that doesn't make it a rule, and the Star Trek line is not one of those times, either. "Boldly to go"? "To go boldly"? No.

This is from "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening," by Robert Frost.

What's "wrong"? It starts a new sentence right before a conjunction ("But...").

Is it really wrong? No. It has always been an option in English to start sentences with conjunctions, and the most respected authors in the language have done so on occasion to good effect.

<edit>

How synchronistic

The article goes on to spell out the other 7.

"Winston tastes good like a cigarette should."

See the original commercial - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9o5i9eNPhY

My teachers told me how "wrong" this was.
