Punctuation is very important, too! Example:“A nearsighted minister glanced at the note that Mrs. Jones had sent to him by an usher.The note read: “Bill Jones having gone to sea, his wife desires the prayers of the congregation for his safety.”Failing to observe the punctuation, he startled his audience by announcing:“Bill Jones, having gone to see his wife, desires the prayers of the congregation for his safety.”
I like Jim Unger’s variation on the old joke better, Herman was changing behind a curtain and the clerk informed him that was the store’s front window display
The sales clerk is correct! Flow should have used better English. This is a warning to all English speaking people. If we do not begin to rally respect the language in our usage, we will loose it! There used to be one language used in most of the western world. It was Latin! Because people didn’t respect the rules of the language and it grammar, it is now a dead language, and has been replaced by a dozen different languages. It you really think about it you will see that the same thing is happening to the English language.
