Alex Trebek: "Please excuse my bad English."
Jeopardy contestant: Ummm... what's a good thing to say after missing a shot in billiards?

Please execute the bad English.
An idiot on Set Theory:

Haven't you ever wanted to own a major international language? (Come on, we're friends here, you can admit it. We all have at one time or another.) Just imagine the fun of counting your daily royalties! Bringing lawsuits against those revisionists who would fail to lambast the lax, lazy infinitive-splitter! Collecting regional variants... why, the opportunities for entertainment would be nearly infinite.xoxos wrote:why the possessive?
To own Flemish has been my ambition since earliest kithood. So far I've accumulated over 17% of available stock: far from total control. But as Derrida said, "ya can't tell da playas widdout a program!" What he meant was "slow and steady wins the race," or possibly "pass the cranberry sauce."
