Kilpatrick Universal press Syndicate pm a Quot Quot i he Winter Nisi is of the court of irks. I peeves and Crotchet Are at hand i first the clerk will react a complaint fron Robert Cochrane of Sarasota f la. 1 be objects to the misuse of a a people for  objection sustained. The Petitioner makes the Point that a a people is a collective noun chinese people speak Many dialects. By contrast a a person carries the connotation of individuality 27 persons were in the audience. A Good working Rule on usage is to employ a a people for an indefinite number and a a persons for an exact number. To write that three Quot people were in an elevator creates a question if two people get off does one people remain Charles c. Ailing of Birmingham ala., asks the court to ban the use of a a once As a condone Tion. He objects to such constructions As a once the Bolt is tightened a or a once aunt Marne arrives. A it would be better he contends to write a after the Bolt is tightened a a and a after aunt manic arrives. A the motion for a conjunction injunction is denied. The plaintiffs examples Are quite in order. There Are indeed instances in which Quot after would be a better Choice than  but the court finds nothing amiss in the use of a a once in the sense of a was soon  once you have finished your spinach you May have your Angel food cake. To Nan f Iester of Asheville n.c., objects to the reckless use of a most a As in a for Ulza is the Toothbrush dentists recommend  her impulse is to leap at the to screen crying a most often you Ninny a the objection is willingly sustained. 1.

He sues to ban the use of a reverend As a noun he offers in evidence two headlines from the Las vegas review journal a Las vegas reverend with aids tells plight to Don Aliue and a watergate reverend Oil to new  a arg a reverend Quot is Nomore a noun than a a distinguished is a noun or a a honorable is a noun. Senators do not ask the distinguished from Alabama to yield the floor. We do not nominate a new honorable to Poland. By the same Token we ought not speak of a the new reverend Al  lots of people a and some dictionaries Arew Rongon this one. The court Grants summary judgment to ministers priests Parsons and other reverend clerics everywhere and takes a weeks recess. Jaguar 20. 1901 sul  / to plug Page 17
