Cartoon time
Apologies for the lack of posts recently; we've all been terribly busy. In the absence of a well written and humorous post, I hope you will enjoy these grammar-based cartoons.
From savagechickens.com.
I think this is from xkcd but I'm willing to be proven wrong. I agree wholeheartedly with the premise. I mean I agree with the use of "they" as a third person, singular, gender free pronoun as opposed to the global bicuriosity. Although there's something about Russell Crowe in Gladiator that... never mind.
I found this on a recruitment site but I don't know the true origins.
I hope you all had a good Easter. Do please keep sending in your photos and queries; we'll try to get around to them in due course.

It's not easy being a grammar wizard.
I've previously hinted at my dislike for the preposition rule by paraphrasing one of Winston Churchill's famous quotes (probably misattributed). Nonetheless the cartoon is a funny reminder that if you live by the grammar sword, you die by the grammar sword.Labels: cartoon, funny, grammar, prepositions
