Southpaw GRAMMAR (Score:0)
I'm going to reveal myself to be something of a grammatical nitwit here and ask: what's exactly wrong with saying 'what I was proudest of'
I'm not sure I understand Morrissey's correction..
Me help you will please?

"...But where once stood David Bowie now stands Chris Martin. He's good-looking, a great songwriter but he's going, 'Shit, how did I get here? I used to worry about sounding too much like Radiohead but what do I do now?'"
Also, he found out, from his earlier interview with Morrissey, that the Velvet Underground were on top of the Moz' list of influences. Has anyone else heard the similarity between the introductory couple of bars both to TIALTNGO, and to 'There she goes again' by V.U.? Hmmm...

Aww Any which way you got to have a conversation with this wonderful man..
It was nice of you to ask and to share your expirience.
Truly Enjoyed it

Morrissey, grammar police? LOL! (Score:0)
Morrissey is the last person that should be playing the role of the English teacher. How ridiculous and pretentious.
Seriously, if he keeps up with this persona, then he will soon become the loathsome character that many have already pegged him to be. It's as if he is gradually fulfilling a prophecy dictated by his enemies. Like many celecbrities, he is so detached form the avergae person that he probably doesn't even realize how he is acting.

Language is a living thing, and dictionaries and grammars are 'descriptive' rather than 'prescriptive' (or maybe I mean 'proscriptive'...), but at the same time... I get really REALLY annoyed by apostrophes being in the wrong place, and obvious spelling mistakes. Because I'm a pain and refuse to admit that I make mistakes as well.
* A special prize to the person who can spot the split infinitive, and then explain why split infinitives are thought of as grammatically incorrect, and why they should in fact be allowed.

In Latin, it's impossible to split an infinitive because it's one word, like it is in French. But in English, an infinitive is 2 words. Fusspot Latin grammarians said that because you couldn't split it in Latin, then you shouldn't split it in English because... erm... they probably had a thing for men in leather miniskirts.
Wow, 3 years of university wasn't wasted on me.
