Good Day to All of You,
Listening to the news. What a disappointment. Our use of the English language has become so disjointed and convoluted. Case in point are the sentences our broadcasters use. Ex. Eric Blah, he reports. Our reporter Jane Booboo, she found. Why does a pronoun have to be used in conjunction with the proper name? Use one or the other but never together. Proper nouns name the person. Pronouns simply replace the proper nouns. They are not to be used next to each other as the use is redundant.
Now to the Word of the Day - troglodyte - 1. someone who is brutish, reactionary, or primitive. 2. a cave dweller. 3. an animal that lives underground. (Get these delivered to your email on a M-F basis through Wordsmith.org.)
I am back from a working vacation researching for American Literature. I will be posting daily.
Blessings to all of you,
Uber Professor
