. . . it gezegde

. . . it a great error to waste young gentlemen's years so long in learning Latin by so tedious a grammar.

English grammar is so complex and confusing for the one very simple reason that its rules and terminology are based on Latin -- a language with which it has precious little in common. In Latin, to take one example, it is not possible to split an infinitive. So in English, the early authorities decided, it should not be possible to split an infinitive either. But there is no reason why we shouldn't, any more than we should forsake instant coffee and air travel because they weren't available to the Romans. Making English grammar conform to Latin rules is like asking people to play baseball using the rules of football. It is a patent absurdity. But once this insane notion became established, grammarians found themselves having to draw up ever more complicated and circular arguments to accommodate the inconsistencies.

Bill Bryson (1946-)

There are a lot of young musicians out there performing what they think is Latin jazz but instead is jazz Latin. And there's a difference. Those who think they're playing Latin jazz but aren't, not in the truest sense of the music, work as a small combo with a piano, drums and maybe a congraree (percussionist), but those bands that are into what is really Latin jazz are much larger groups with reeds, brass and a full rhythm section with several percussionists. There will always be Latin jazz. My mission is to keep it alive.

Eddie Palmieri (1936-)

This team has prepared well all season long. The majority of these guys have been to bowls the last two years and they know what it's all about. The young guys are learning from the older guys. We've had great preparation.

Kyle Whittingham

Grammar is not a time of waste

Nancy Cartwright (1957-)

[Of all the storylines, none is more compelling than the rise of the Indians. They have arrived much like the young, brash A's did five years ago. The Indians will be a force long after 2005.] They've got some great young talent, guys who are ready to win now, ... No one around the league is surprised they're in [the playoff hunt]. What's scary is that they're just going to get better over the next few years.

Torii Hunter

In my seven years here, he's the best young Latin American hitter as a free-agent amateur who came here.

Bill Bryk

For the Latin market it's very common because that is who we are, we are very passionate people we like sexy type. I've been working for the Latin market eight years and I'm Latin so it's part of work. I don't see it as a bad thing. I don't over do it, it's not pornographic sexiness but we do like our sexy stuff, its how we're brought up I guess.

Sofia Vergara (1972-)

These two young gentlemen have exceeded all expectations as players and are really going to form part of the backbone for the future and I think it's a great credit to them.

Rodney Eade

It takes more time and effort and delicacy to learn the silence of a people than to learn its sounds. Some people have a special gift for this. Perhaps this explains why some missionaries, notwithstanding their efforts, never come to speak properly, to communicate delicately through silences. Although they ''speak with the accent of natives'' they remain forever thousands of miles away. The learning of the grammar of silence is an art much more difficult to learn than the grammar of sounds.

Ivan Illich

I'm using a part of my brain that I haven't used since school, learning the French grammar.

Gwen Davis

Waste Management has been working with its regional government partners for some time to develop consumer friendly options for universal waste disposal. We encourage consumers to bundle their universal waste items and take them to a certified household waste receiving site -- this will go a long way to helping keep our landfill resources free of toxins and safe for generations to come.

David Tucker

Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.

Henry Ford (1863-1947)

Error is a supposition that pleasure and pain, that intelligence, substance, life, are existent in matter. Error is neither Mind nor one of Mind's faculties. Error is the contradiction of Truth. Error is a belief without understanding. Error is unreal because untrue. It is that which stemma to be and is not. If error were true, its truth would be error, and we should have a self-evident absurdity /namely, erroneous truth. Thus we should continue to lose the standard of Truth.

Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910)
