`Nyah, nyah - gotcha!' The annual skewering of the maven
Article Abstract:
The author readily admits that his weekly analysis of proper use of English words does not prevent him from using grammar incorrectly. Readers of his weekly article have observed wrong usage of prepositional phrase modifiers and the post-determiner word `other.' There is a difference between the words historical and historic. The former refers to a past event. Other mistakes involved redundancies in using foreign terms.
