Off the Record

You don’t know about me at all, but I can tell I have read that story by Mark Twain, about Huck Finn. If you like the story too, we could get along, I guess.

Mark Twain wrote his yarn a human way and came out real neat, in the end. This is what we do around here: we talk human, to come out neat. Check us out at languagetool.org if you like, copy and paste.

And well, however big you are and whatever you read, remember not to bond with your nose to it.

12 inches away is reasonable for human eyes. This screen is easy for a Big Foot away — that is, you can press Ctrl+ together to zoom or scale, as with most pages.

Grapevine: 3 gloves, to that time

Grapevine: Only real strawberries count

You might hear you go minus or plus infinity about the number of strawberries, but mind you, the Founders stated you couldn’t owe for strawberries that never existed, or so I guess they would have said in case. Grammar can have infinity too. ■More

Grapevine: Word natures

Dis-establishmentarian people would be as the flower power or hippie guys, whose alternative lifestyles involved little or no capability for finance. We are considerate abut our developmental stages, so we have looked around for prospects, and disestablishment is not our choice. . ■More

Grapevine: Four of them things

I’ve asked Jim if he believes in witches. He says there sure ain’t any in Vermont where he lives ’cause they can’t fly in snow storms, so they’d need anoraks and goggles till April. ■→More
