2 Problems
Al wrote: This reminds me of my favorite exchange from one of Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe novels. In it Wolfe had maneuvered one of his suspects into the red chair and was making him nuts with his erudite pedantic style of interrogatory interlocution until the man simply could not take it any more. He said, "I came here to find out what you've done with my wife, not to have my grammar corrected!" To which Wolfe dryly replied, "I'm not correcting your grammar. I'm correcting your diction." Good old Nero, a model of correctness. J. Del Col |
