Mar. 30th, 2006

In trying to find out what The People have to say about semi-modal need to so I can do a whole whack of work so I can give a talk on it on Tuesday and not look like the biggest ass ever in the world and/or fail my course*, I have realized that I do not own one prescriptive grammar book. Not one.

I suppose I could be annoyed about how academic papers are supposed to be all about debunking your opponent, spitting in his eye, and pissing on his grave instead of hey neat, let's see what semi-modal need to is doing these days, but I knew what the assignment was and it's my own problem. None of these big fat linguistics textbooks say boo about it. Guess I'm going to the library.

Not even a style guide, y'know?

* Oh, and did I mention I'm spending Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at Ad Astra too?
