Craig Newmark More Doctorate-y

"Growing up the cliche nerd...?" I'm willing to mentally add a word or two for the sake of grammatical sense, but this sentence in its entirety seems to call for a good bit more.

Sentence good... must warn Cathar...

Welcome aboard Matthew, and be prepared to have your pachydermicit-y tested at every turn by even the most unqualified critics on this ship of fools. Even if they like what you say, they are liable to not like how you said it. And vice-versa, fer shure.

I don't think the sentence is "good," Conan. I don't even think the entire item can serve as a model of clean, expository prose. It reminded me of Dierdre of the grammatical sorrows at her very "best."

"As it were now," for example?

I don't know of a muse named Diedre; at least not a literary one.

Deirdre Day McLeod of the grammatical sorrows (my own reference to Irish mythology and to plays by Yeats and Synge) had the weekend gig here in this very space for a while, Conan. And seemingly her every post provoked howls of outrage from many posters, such seemed to be her general unfamiliarity with English grammar, sentence structure and spelling.

Oddly, she is a published author. I suspect, then, that she simply rushed through her weekend duties for this site. (If not, if her command of her mother tongue really is that bad, she owes a debt akin to that of third world nations to their creditors to her copy editors.) In any case, she disappeared from this site after some months, leaving the question of whether she fell or was pushed. How soon we forget!
