Update your stylebooks

Greg Beato identifies yet another irregular verb:

  • We engage in refreshing, hilariously politically incorrect humor
  • You (pl.) push the boundaries of good taste
  • They wallow in profanity and ethnic slurs

Damn him, he’s been reading my emails!

The most defective verb is “condone”. I, you, we, he, and she all don’t condone child abuse, drug abuse, etc. Nobody condones them.

Nobody condones much of anything, to my knowledge. There just isn’t a lot of condoning out there.

Wasn’t there something about condons stopping aides?
