Just in case you think we cats have been falling down on the job (because we've been horribly busy lately — more on that later), we have a quick post on grammar tonight.
Specifically, that we are sick and tired of communicators who can't speak English making tons more money than we do.
Latest case in point: Tiger Woods' agent — who we think garners about 10 percent of everything the sex-addled golfer makes — who said the following in his announcement of tomorrow's non-press-conference press conference:
"While Tiger feels that what happened is fundamentally a matter between he [sic] and his wife, he also recognizes that he has hurt and let down a lot of other people who were close to him."
We cats suppose that this guy never met a preposition that needed an objective case pronoun. We HISS and SNARL.
Oh, and to all you Olympic reporters out there: Can we please stop using "medal" as a verb?
Thank you, and good night.
(IMAGE: There's no way to properly illustrate a grammar-related rant, but this picture of the newest leopard cubs at the National Zoo is cute as the dickens. So we went with that.)
