Y'know, I find it fascinating that everyone is commenting on the grammar (and the grammar police) and not on the *crime being plotted* (which has been going on for a couple of strips at least).
Having said that, I love the grammar strips.
For heaven's sake, don't follow a comic strip for your grammar needs. Read Geoff Pullum or any linguist or grammarian more modern than Miss Thistlebottom.
As a former teacher, I say the same things as Lemont, and get the same reactions. This is REAL life!!!!!!!!! ♞
It has probably been mentioned before, but I'm rather new here, so I'll mention it again. A collection of the grammar strips, in one handy bedside book, would be awesome. I live with a grammarian and I need help.
