pyrsandponiesI had to open the book cabinet on my desk (but it's next to me!) and I grabbed the first book I laid eyes on:
"The reason Ned stayed home is for the reason that the robbers tied him up."
~Patricia T. O'Conner, Woe is I: The Grammarphobe's Guid to Better English in Plain English [italics and bolding in original].
*hee* one must love examples of poor grammar! Especially when it is an example of redundancy! Which I battle EVERY SINGLE DAY! I am Raithen, the Redundancy Slayer!
Book Meme:
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the coolest book you can find. Do what's actually next to you.
