"A graduate of Purdue University, her compositions are eclectic."Now what's wrong with the picture? Can you tell?Maybe I am such a grammar vigilante because I teach. And good grammar was expected at home when I was a kid. After all, my mother taught english at various high schools and was a free-lance writer. My grammar is not perfect, but I try always to use language intelligently and coherently.
(from a member's biography on the website of the American Composers Forum).
Mabel got her rabies shot this morning. For the first time in her life she stopped dead across the street from the vet's office; she always was nervous going, but this time she flat-out refused and I had to pick her up and carry her in, which offended her dignity. The vet feels she is too fat and demands that I put her on a diet.
