I got my BA in English Literature. Studying literature as opposed to grammar takes account of the context to determine meaning rather than just a strict set of rules. So while the cartoon is funny it also shows how grammarians sometimes miss important meanings. Also, my degree gives me poetic license to play with and/or ignore the rules as needed for effect.
Join the resistance: Do no harm/take no shit. My idiosyncratic and confluent bricolage of progressive politics, linguistic framing, the collaborative commons, next generation cognitive neuroscience, American pragmatism, de/reconstruction, dynamic systems, embodied realism, psychodynamics, aesthetics. It's not much but it's something.
