Responses for ~ Richard Lederer "A Uni-verse of Language"

Yo Boss Verbivore,

I look through yonder door,
In absolute horror,
It's a man eating verbivore,
do I dare explore?

Lacking the proper rapport,
This predicament I deployer,
I am not a discourser,
I yield to this parlance enforcer.

Wow! How I ever learned to speak English makes my brain weak. Lay and Lie are two plums in a pie that I desperately plumb to ply all week.

Thanks for making my conundrum not so humdrum.

Thank you, Richard.

I really needed to end my day with a laugh. As a writer of both poetry and prose, as well as an being editor myself, I really related to this humorous look at the English language. I'd love to see a similar one on spelling. You know, those words we often use in error not because we don't know the proper choice but more that our typing fingers often fall into habits when one there is used a lot more than the other one of possession, their. The ones a spell-checker never picks up, tired eyes miss in a proof read, and cause many an embarrassing moment to the supposed to be writing professional. I bet your students just love your classes.

My best,
