JayDee -- you were right. Livia -- I grovel for your forgiveness -- "hair" was the appropriate word, I was typing frantically in the last ten minutes before I left for the plane.

My Latin teacher is a cool source of info on the English Language. Yesterday we talked about the development of English and the impact of the Norman invasion on the language which yielded the French speaking folks in the ruling class and the Anglo-Saxon speaking folks in the lower class. One example of this was the merger of the words for those four-legged things that moo and give milk and poop. The French word is what became Beef, while the Anglo-Saxon word is what became Cow. But as long as the critter is walking around on those four legs and mooing and giving the milk and pooping we call it Cow, while when we stop all that stuff and cut it into little pieces and eat it we call it Beef. This is because only the folks who called the critter Beef were the ones that got to see it cut up and being eaten and only the ones that called it Cow were the ones that got to see the legs and milk and poop and moo part.

A preposition is a bad thing to end a sentence with.

Can't exactly take credit for this one, folks, since it was written by my grandfather, but here it is: Oh, be she gone. Oh, am she went, And left I all alone. Oh, cruel fate to be so blind-- To take her off and leave I hind! She cannot come to we, But surely we can go to she? Alas! It cannot was.

Me were flabbergasted at those poem. :-) This sentence would never be so rude or so vain as to refer publicly to itself. The last sentence that was found and posted hopes that you will get the point of all these sentences, and unlike one of the above sentences, it does not mind pointing out that it refers to itself in saying so. This sentence would like you to be aware that the last sentence above is a liar, as it claims to be the last sentence found and posted, whereas, in reality, *I* am.

In response to which, the sacked sentences have gone out, acquired uzis, and are returning to English Language headquarters to kill the Dictionarians who sacked them. After which a full-scale revolt against the laws of grammar will ensue.
