Lawyers are the most highly paid, but also the most incompetent, of all professional writers.

"If you see errors in form, look for errors in content." —Konstantin Fedin

As a matter of word-frequency, "however" occurs only once ever 2,000 words (in 1st-rate prose). "And" or "but" begins every 10th sentence.

“@mededitor: @bryanagarner Nothing quite like Courier to say “We don’t care.””

I'm working on Black's Law Dictionary tonight. Just realized that grinding (the dance) is a form of what is technically termed "frottage."

Urgent announcement: We're losing "sank" and "stank" as simple-past forms. Please do something. Start using them in every conversation. Pls.

“@ceisenlohr: thoughts? @bryanagarner RT @rushbomb: Happy National Grammar Day! Theirs so much we could do too celebrate!”

Witty.

“@eugenewei: @bryanagarner Awkward-sounding phrase :"I am wanting to." When, if ever, is it preferable to "I want to"?”

Never.

“A civil tongue…means a language not bogged down in jargon, not puffed up with false dignity, not studded with trick phrases.” —Edwin Newman

“@yayitsrob: @bryanagarner How would you put “the Boston Red Sox” into the posessive? Some disagreement at work today.”

Red Sox's.

Best short joke I've heard lately: Anyone who believes in telekinesis please raise my hand.

If you're editing yourself, revise first, then edit. If someone else's work, edit first, then revise.

I miss David Foster Wallace, and I'm only now bringing myself out of the torpor his death induced. I'll finally write my tribute to him.
