Lead Feature: “When a tremendously hot song legitimizes a grammatical atrocity

[Joe Carillo]

For a well-deserved respite this Holiday Season, find time to read or reread six of my lighthearted essays that I have posted in the Forum over the years. They are:

1. “When a tremendously popular song legitimizes a grammatical atrocity”

 


2. “The State of Our English”


 

3. “When immodest medical jargon is used as a slogan”




4. “The disturbing high incidence of the faulty ‘taken cared of’ usage”




5. “Conversation: Do kingfishers eat butter?”




6. “My misgivings when people wish me more power”



 
Simply click their respective hyperlinks to start reading the essays.

Happy Holidays!

With my best wishes,
Joe Carillo
