Helping to Change the World Word by Word
Oh my!!! That is hilarious – loved having a laugh with my dog, with whom I live, this early Friday morning! Thank you.
To finish with a preposition
is a common flaw
that must place users in perdition,
and that’s simply the law
that causes agony eternal,
along with those that say ‘have went’,
for dominion over the infernal
is reserved for those whose lives were spent
in attempts to inculcate
callow youth with understanding
that a language fine and great
requires love and careful handling,
and having faced that special Hell,
they have the nous to run it well.
How funny! As a business and technical writing professor, I really appreciated this video! Oh, my goodness, how hysterical!
Thank you for sharing. What a scream!!!😂
Comment: HAHAHAHAHA!
That was Sweeeet! Loved it!!
Mr. Bean. I was laughing from the get-go. I did have professors back in the day who were scrupulous about things like this. Fortunately for me, my editor agrees that in fiction it’s better to write like people think and speak today.
You got me! Love this one.
With whom I lived.
Lol
With whom!!! As a writer and a teacher, I love this humorous sketch. I remember my mother teaching me how to use ‘with whom’ when I was a child, but thankfully she was way more gentle than this headmaster!
