Fragments of English

"There is a concoction of self-satisfied myth and ignorance about English that is served up at Sunday services, on the floor of the Texas Legislature, in newspaper editorials, and in political party platforms with the alacrity of nachos at a high school football game.

When I first saw news blurbs popping up here and there telling of how a girl's passport photo showed her bare shoulders, which was rejected because it might offend someone, I didn't click through to the stories. By the way the blurbs read, I figured it was a teenager, and who knew what she was wearing, so maybe it was offensive, and well ... I just didn't care anyway. Today I found out the "offensive" passport photo belongs to a 5 year old girl, which at least makes the story entertaining enough to read.

"'In IE 7.0, we will fix as many of the worst bugs that Web developers hit as we can, and we will add the critical most-requested features from the standards as well,' Wilson said."
