We need a picture to determine guilt or innocence.

Was Saddam Hussein hung or hanged, Grammar Girl?He was hanged, she answered, offering, as she often does, a memory trick: Curtains are hung, people are hanged.
He may have been hung too for all we know.

Here's one: The defendant
pleaded guilty.
No way, Jose !
The defendant pled guilty-even though he might have pleaded for mercy at sentencing.
As in:
Poor Nell, she begged and pleaded
But the Jury did not care:
They did not have a sofa
So they sent him to the chair !

nice to have these type of people around, i don’t know much about grammar. My idea of a collective noun is a “garbage truck.”

I like this! It is great and lots of us (me) need it but just remember, one of the most insulting things you can do is to correct a friends grammar, especially in public.

This is something that is so sorely needed. I hope the Grammar Girl will help revive interest in proper usage. I don't know about the rest of you, but the whole IM-style thing has been slowly but surely driving me insane.
And can somebody please give me the location of the institution that's teaching people that "women" is singular? I'd like to go burn it down.

"Tard" refers to the ping list members and not to the subject of the thread.

Think of your 10-year-old nephew and how he will pore over the rules to some game,I always thought it was "pour" not "pore". I am admittedly not a grammar genius, but was I wrong??

Apparently, he knows more than one.
