en In my judgment, the reason 3,000 people were killed that day is because the terrorists did not know how to kill 30,000 people, and they didn't know how to kill 3 million people. But if they had known on 9/11 how to kill 30,000 people or 3 million people, in my judgment, they would have done so.

en 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.

They'd been learning English, some of them since elementary school. Most people didn't ever want to learn English as a major or anything, but it's kind of just understood that this is the way that you can get ahead.

en Some people go through treatment more than once and some never respond to treatment. But most people put their lives together quietly, silently, anonymously. You don't see or hear from them, so we are left with gauging our impressions of treatment on those who have failed or relapsed, and that gives a grossly incomplete picture.

en Writing in English is the most ingenious torture ever devised for sins committed in previous lives. The English reading public explains the reason why.

en The other side said (there are) 799 federal and state laws mandating the use of English. ... We would say those kinds of laws are not at issue here.
