Where does "You don’t have 'personal choices' in where to put punctuation, Sugarbritches. You either put the commas in the right place, or you (sic) are illiterate" fit in with this philosophy? Do tell.

Lee will never answer this or any questions like it. She is chickenshit.

Lee writes:

>This lack in sensitivity to the uses of language shows deficiency in sensitivity to subtleties of the use of language.

Such negative commentators reveal their barren ability to sense gradations in language or in anything. They display an understanding that lacks sensitivity.<

Check out these subtleties and gradations of language.

>Fom your NYT column: "The Los Angeles Angels are not like most other teams."

Mr. Tyler Kepner:
Sports writers write some of the best prose in newspapers. But that does entitle them to make subject-verb agreement errors.

The "Los Angeles Angels" is plural in form but singular in meaning. Your "are" should be "is."<

Game on, sportswriters. Make all the subject-verb errors you like!
