Kilpatrick Universal press Syndicate the court of peeves irks and Crotchet resumes its october session with a petition from Fred Carter of Riviera Beach Fla. He asks the court to define certain indefinite numbers. He complains with much truth that Standard dictionaries Are of Little assistance. Shifting to its magisterial Mode the court will oblige. The smallest of the indefinite terms is a couple a As in a Elizabeth borrowed a couple of a couple is two or three but not More than three. In ascending order we have Elizabeth borrowing a few books four or five several books six to 10a number of books More than 10 and Many books half the Library. The court offers neither expert evidence nor established precedent in support of its ruling. This court pronounces its decree and is done with it. Mrs. Alvin b. Nordhem of Savannah ga., objects to the foregoing usage of she cites a statement this May from Richard Gephardt majority Leader of the House a we would like to get done before the memorial the court defends both itself and rep. Gephardt on the grounds of idiomatic speech. The use of a a done in the sense of a finished Quot is at least As old As the English proverb that tells us a Man May work from Sun to Sun but woman a work is never the court approves the usage in cooking the roast will be done in an hour but disapproves it in the sense of tourism last year we did Paris. Jim Mckinley of Aurora colo., is irked by the reporting of certain figures. He notes that Many publications tend to present comparative data in a Quot to from sequence that befuddled the Reader. Example the associated press reported a recommendation that Federal support of mathematics education a increase to $250 million annually from $133 million Over three years a complaint upheld the better practice is to go from past to present i.e., from $133 million to $250 million. The Days final petition comes from John e. Wray of Georgetown so. He asks that the words a and a eth Isotropic a heretofore confined to texts on fluid dynamics be. Admitted to the bar of common usage. So ordered. The term Lias to do with substances that change their viscosity dramatically under influences other than temperature. Examples include Ketchup Mayonnaise cornstarch wet Sand and Southern politicians. The court finds it difficult to work a into a dinner table conversation but is willing to try. The court requires another recess until next week when it shall finish hearing this sessions complaints. October 21,1990 sunday to plus c
