Fun and evocative! "We might-could go see the hogs down to the 4-H pavillion." Better than "might" or "could" all by themselves. You know what the double modal brings to the table? An extra modal adverb. But also: nuance.<BR/><BR/>Second fave is unnecessary apostrophe's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11932117.post-4461360484480891672007-07-25T12:53:00.000-05:002007-07-25T12:53:00.000-05:00Ah, XO.

Are spammers getting that detailed and specific these days? Crimminy!<BR/><BR/>For the record, sakthi, you shouldn't advertise in blogs unless you're asked. And you forgot the word "to" in between "won't" and "complain." Unless you were gonna say "about" and not "to," in which case, you can see why re-reading your comment before posting might make you look less like a jackass. Also, it's "mistakes" with an "s." You're clearly from another country, so I'm willing to let the grammar stuff go.<BR/><BR/>But not the random linkage.
