I thought they were firing Drunky Smurf for a second there. Guess he hasn't embarrassed the admin enough yet-- maybe after he gets some citizens killed by drunk texting

When is language prescriptively defined? Even the French academy can't stop language drift, despite all their prescribing about it.

That's good for some general writing tips, but S&W made plenty of their own errors in the book and had ambiguous or wrong explanations for various topics (IIRC they don't seem to know what passive voice actually is).

I wouldn't recommend it for someone looking for solid info about grammar itself.

It was a pledge to vote, not legally binding. A lot of desperate people these days, and I can't say I wouldn't try to scam elon out of a million bucks if given the opportunity. "Sure sure, I'll totally vote how you want Mr Musky sir. Make sure you spell my name right on the check now."

Senator Booker stood on the floor
For a day (plus an hour five minutes)
To speak out on Orange acts all should deplore,
Though at last even he found his limits.

Observers made comments showing support,
"At last, at least some piece of action!"
Yet others despaired and were seen to retort,
"Too late!" for the Democrat faction.

But a rare beam of hope as a flash in our lives
Shines all the more bright for the dark.
And signals perhaps—gives a reason for why—
His speech shows an important mark

Of a record, now smashed, was hereto unbroken,
And for 70 years sowed division.
If for no other change we'll know that he's spoken
And created historic revision.
