Quote of the Day


In an article called "The increasingly lonely hope of Barack Obama," The New Yorker showed that it belongs to the increasingly lonely class of educated people who still imagine that if they ever allowed an adjunct to separate infinitival to from the plain-form verb of the infinitival complement that it introduces, demons would break through the walls and floor and drag them down to hell.
- Geoffrey K. Pullum.
