Post whatever you want here, Ziggy.
Ziggy says ...
Lee, despite her promise to post anything from any reader due to her commitment to the First Amendment, refuses to post a comment of mine. What did you expect, Ziggy? She's a hypocrite. She refuses to post it because I correct her writing in this one:
Ziggy, you argue for the sake of keeping the attention on you. A mother of four and a granny of ten can tell you that little kids cut up all the time to get attention.
You need to start a blog of your own. You are monopolizing my blog. It’s not the nagging you do; [SPACE AFTER SEMICOLON] it’s the space you take up with no point. you [CAPITALIZE “YOU”] nag for the sake of keeping the attention on you.
A mother of four and a granny of ten can tell you that little kids cut up all the time to get attention. [SPACE AFTER PERIOD]You need to start a blog of your own. You are monopolize [REPLACE WITH MONOPOLIZING OR OMIT "ARE"] my blog with pointless patter. [ENTIRE PARAGRAPH IS REPETITION OF PREVIOUS TWO PARAGRAPHS]
Learn this bit of logic, dear boy: [INSERT “NEITHER”] You nor anyone will ever tell me whose grammar to correct. That is strictly the kid here's choice. lee [CAPITALIZE “LEE”]--
Logic? How is correcting one person's grammar and not another's logical?
And yesterday she posted:
Thank you and to all who make the fight against the board and administration's mistreatment of teachers, I wish a merry Christmas.
It's confusing. I think it should say:
To all who make the fight against the board and administration's mistreatment of the teachers, I thank you and wish you a merry Christmas.
The reason it's confusing is because there are two independent clauses that Lee doesn't separate with a comma.
"(I) thank you." and "To all ... Christmas."
Thus:
(I) thank you, and to all who make the fight against the board and administration's mistreatment of teachers, I wish a merry Christmas.
That second comma could be argued as well. Would Lee write
"I wish a merry Christmas, to all"?
No, of course not.
Keep posting, Ziggy. As Lee often writes, become a pest. Keep chipping away. This is America, and you have a First Amendment right.
