A Grammar Lesson


Thank you for writing to me about the faux-paus on the header.  I knew it should have been "Politically Incorrect" instead of "Not-Politically Correct".  I'll let it stand as it is for now.  BTW why 'PM' and not in the comments?

After much flak, rewrote some posts in a more 'genteel' language - seems my posts were too 'salty' for taste.  But if I'm going to go 'genteel' why do I need a 'nom de plume'?

And being "not-politically correct" is not a new phenomenon - it dates back to 1793 US Supreme Court decision Chisholm vs. Georgia [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chisholm_v._Georgia]  and as that fount of all knowledge Wikipedia states, " 'politically incorrect' came into use as an implicit term of self-praise, indicating that the user was not afraid to give offense"
