Just to express my annoyance at the fact that I'm still
getting e-mail from this list more than 24 hours after I thought
I'd unsubscribed, I'm going to be an equal-opportunity irascible
grammar-nut and point out the Ms. Smith must have meant
"renowned."
(I say "equal-opportunity" because I criticized that speaker whose
podium Aimee Smith tried to take over the other day because he kept
saying "homo sapien" when he evidently meant
"homo sapiens."
("Homo sapiens", _with_ the final "s", is singular.)
(BTW, I agree with Aimee Smith that it is wrong to maintain
laws one intends not to enforce, just so that if don't like someone
you'll have something to get them for.) -- Mike Hardy
