“The English language has been quite needlessly and foolishly complicated by lawyers, politicians, tradesmen, bad poets, and a whole host of woolly-minded people.”
— S.P.B. Mais, The Writing of English 235 (1935)
(Via Bryan Garner’s blog on modern American usage)

Thanks, Jackie! Chai Another Day, the 4th in the series, is just out today!
