Exactly.

Now, this thread is starting to get very interesting.

I was thinking about this the other day, watching a show on The Ten Commandments. They were talking about the "take not the Lord's name in vain" law, and how it was originally meant because by swearing in god's name, you were calling him down as a witness. The point being, that words are powerful.

Words ARE powerful, which is why maybe we get so passionate about them. I just people would be more passionate about grammar and spelling, if words are so important.

Agreed. All Harry Potter needs is a pointy stick and the right words, and *bam* interesting things happen.

Apparently, it used to be possible to satirize people to literal DEATH. The Irish did the same thing to rats--rhymed the rats to death.

"I am a rimer of the Irish race,
And have already rimde thee staring mad;
But if thou cease not thy bold jests to spread
I'll never leave till I have rimde thee dead."

Take two -- they're small.

Or

One for each nipple

Or

Everyone's got one, and also a _________. Whether they both stink or not depends on the ________. These and a buck fifty five get you a Tall cup of coffee at Starbucks.

'possible' or 'believed to be possible' ?

Do they come more passionate than I? [Or than me, by another and equally valid grammatical path]

The english language is too complex and I will never get the grammar right.
When somebody points out my mistakes in grammar I just laugh it off because chances are that person does not have perfect grammar either. :)

Your grammar is near perfect ducks.
