Snowzilla's big cleanup must be getting on everybody's nerves. We cats are running into bad grammar.
Wait — maybe we always hear bad grammar, and it's not just because of the blizzard. Ya think?
The latest offender is an Arlington, Virginia, county manager who's been dealing with citizens' complaints that their streets aren't plowed yet. He knew he had to reassure them, but that it would probably be futile. "No amount of words will help the snow melt faster," he said.
No, Mr. Arlington County Manager. It's "number" of words, "amount" of snow. But don't fret. We'd be a lot harder on you if we didn't hear this mistake constantly from everybody, everywhere. Which makes us HISS.
