Having to explane what one wrote, especially
to a language lover. Such as Edwarda.

Cramer has an annoying column called How to Read Cramer at thestreet.com which attempts to make sense out of the nonsense Cramer wrote.
I love to be annoying, so their should also be at least a sentence on How to Read Wigglesworth: WW either never means a thing with what he says at each and any single time or always says what means several things at all and every individual time.

I was castigated by Edwarda for not loving grammer-mongers and calling them hypocrites by that which I have written:

<< I am so disgusted with the hypocrites right on this here thread.
Believe it or not, there are those who post here not because they are annoyed but because they want to annoy others or, worse yet, because they enjoy (grammer?)!!! >>

Did I mean 'because they enjoy grammer'? No, of course not. But that's one way to interprete what I didn't mean. In fact, the truth is, I so revere grammer that as soon as I wrote 'because they enjoy!!!' I detected a gaping objectival void in this ill-formed sentence that I had to alert the whole forum to a potentially devasting grammaticle error by inserting (grammer?) between the 'y' and the '!'. For this act of altruism, I was publikly castrated.

Moral of the story: Never yell 'Fire(?)' because you will be accused of being the arsonist!!
