Grammar Goddess

In light of my other post provided with help from dictionary.com, I found this appropriate to also post. It's an email I received from my dear KATU cohort, Matt.

Ever seen “Dirty Harry” with Clint Eastwood? Mark Sutton gave me a quote that makes me think of you:

“I know what you’re thinking, punk,” hissed Wordy Harry to his new editor. “You’re thinking, ‘Did he use six superfluous adjectives or only five?’ – and to tell the truth, I forgot myself in all this excitement; but being as this is English, the most powerful language in the world, whose subtle nuances will blow your head clean off, you’ve got to ask yourself one question: ‘Do I feel loquacious?’ Well, do you, punk?”

Cheers,
Matt
