Fame or Infamy ...

[The Good Michael]

One of the promises is to unveil the truth "after nearly forty years of lies and deception". Now, correct me if I am wrong, but that puts us in the 1970s.

I think Powell says it started in 1969 and continued for several years, up to about 1975... the creation of the diary, that is.

I prefer to think of it as the Plan 9 From Outer Space of Ripperology.

Hold it right there Ed Wood was a genius

Wally is more an English term. Drongo is the only Australian equivilant I can come up with.

I'll read the book if somebody will provide me with a free copy

He had you fooled then. Nothing genius about Wood except that he somehow got his movies made.

Belinda,

The last time there was a book this bad that everyone had to read for the comedic effect, but no one wanted to pay for it to provide the nut job with a the coin, one person bought a copy and then it got mailed to everyone who wanted to read it, each person just paying for postage.

Now that I know he's not only done copyright violation but plagiarism as well (by not citing Casebook at all and ripping off the content and not crediting me with my own words) I am thinking of purchasing a copy.

If nothing else, you'll need a copy to provide your attorney.

. A high colonic might be needed after reading the book.

This book is a high colonic. Especially if you are someone driven to despair by poor punctuation, such as improper use of it's versus its, which is my own personal jihad.

Oh I screw that one up all the time when writing quickly. I wouldn't be so tacky as to do it in formal writing though. I've also noticed a distressing tendency for their instead of there creeping into my writing. I think my keyboard is possessed, I KNOW the difference yet I type a paragraph, read it over and go...what the hell?? There's a their there!

Page 2 has the teenaged Park and Mr. Powell discussing the forged Anne Frank diary. Yes, you read that right. Forged.

[Ally]

You are kidding me. What a complete waste of oxygen that man is.

[Supe]

Sir R,

such as improper use of it's versus its, which is my own personal jihad.

How about a lot as the single word alot? I find that solecism ever increasing and it is major peeve of mine.

There's a Facebook group :

'Let's eat Grandma!' or, 'Let's eat, Grandma!' Punctuation saves lives.

Alot is vile and despicable.

How do you feel about alright ? Borderline in my eyes.

But the real trip point for turning me into a raging maniac is "looser" for someone that has lost.

[The Good Michael]

What about everyday when it's not used as an adjective but as a noun of frequency? Every day I read something from my students that irks me.
