Punctuate that!


John, while James had "had, had", had "had." "Had" better pleased the teacher.

*you (Hypercorrection, lawl.)

That looks more like a object noun clause than a predicative adjective. Or adjective complement, if you prefer.

The "you" correction is hilarious. I had to read it twice before I caught it.

Edit -- Huh, I was doing some random digging on the adjective complements, and there are in fact several sites that support you on that point. It appears to be a different methodology.

I would love to see the answer to that, but I doubt there is one.

And so it comes about that we realize that ultimately language is about communication. If one has to go read a book to understand what you said in one line when both of you speak the same language then SOMEONE failed at communication. And to that, fuck grammar. There are occasions when grammer helps you communicate more clearly. THe ultimate question is if the recipient understood you. Who fails where is always subjective but an obsession with grammar does not necessarily equal better communication.
