Photos from last month's Black Hills Climbing Trip are up, finally. ("Finally up" would have ended the sentence with a preposition, and that is something up with which I shall not put.)
The climbing season's pretty much over for me and my lame lateral meniscus. Anyone out there who's succesfully, yet inexpensively, treated this apparently quite important piece o' cartilage?
Refusing to end a sentence with a preposition is all well and good, of course, but the true grammar devotee knows that, besides sentences, it's also poor grammar to end a *phrase* with a preposition. Therefore, to say "It's up, finally" is still improper.
ReplyDeleteFurther, of course, is the whole notion of dialect, or colloquial language. I doubt that, for instance, a grammarian would bother to correct a Scot's use of the word "canna" (consider: "I canna give you more opwer, Captain!") as an improper contraction of the words "can" and "not".
Keep trying, though. You'll get it eventually. ;-)
Nice pix.
Yes, but that grammarian might correct the Scot's use of the word "opwer." :D
ReplyDeleteNah, I think the grammar police would file that under "delicious irony".
ReplyDeleteYou guys amaze me.
ReplyDeleteWell, we are pretty impressive. That is something which of quite sure am I. :-)
ReplyDeleteless yapping, more climbing!
ReplyDeleteYou should know by now to expect a certain (large) amount of yappage where JC is concerned.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Yappage. There was a certain flower contest that I supposedly won and I still to this day have not seen any Juicy Fruit gum in the snail mail. :( Was the contest just all ''Yap'' to find out the name of Jami's flowers?
