Start time

[Ian Spechler]

Ok, are we now a 5:30am group? A 5:45am group? A 6am group? Because I'm not sure I want to be the hairy guy who goes into Jester without a shirt alone. And I'm flexible on time.

[Pat Legate]

There are two groups, 5:30 and 6:00 departures (three if you count Leslie’s ). Take your pick or try them all.

Ian, Eric, The question is, who do you like better? Or whom? Jimmy and I are sticking with a 6 a.m. departure time. Do you prefer to run with people who use the objective form of the interrogative pronoun "who/whom" correctly or with the hoi polloi? It's completely up to you. We don't judge. We simply note.

this makes it way worse Ward!  I prefer to say "whom" but that doesn't mean I want to run with "those people" LOL

Haha.

Some of us, who are unencumbered by rules of grammar but beholden to the clock, will be starting at 5:30.

Jimmy, I hope you're glad that I have chased off our unreconstructable colleagues. I would say "peers," but of course we, as the unbeholden, might be accused of condescension were I to use the term. Indeed, they may be only further put off by my use of the contrary-to-fact subjunctive.

Dear Ward,

If your intent was to bring more people into the 6:00 am start, I'm afraid it may have backfired when you call the other groups "The plebs "

I do hope you make an exception with me since aftrall English is my second language (I will be using that card for as long as I can)

I chose to run with The Pedant group but for the record I consider myself more of the plebs! 

See you all next week

Liliana

This morning, at 6:01 am, Dr. Keeler was officially relieved of his duties as Chief Recruitment Officer for the U Loop organization. He will attend sensitivity training and return next week more tolerant of grammatical "creativity," including verbal excursions into slang, vernacular, and other idiomatic irregularities contrary to his inherited notions of "proper" English usage. He might even use the word "ain't."

Herr Doktor Professor Keeler, currently busy with his many scholarly and administrative activities, has asked me to report that he chose to resign from his post as Chief Recruitment Office for the üloop at 5:59 this morning, making any subsequent action taken regarding his appointment moot. "Would," he added, "that the lesser-ranked members of this organization had checked with us beforehand, sparing themselves the trouble of concerning themselves with affairs so weighty and so far above their station."

I'm sure you will join me in admiring their use of the optative subjunctive in that statement.

Please, please video tape Ward using the word “ain’t”. I want to upload it to his department website.

I’m glad to see that we are averting a Uloop civil war, with the 6:00er’s throwing in the towel. Even if it is hidden in professorial language.
