The Pen Versus the Sword

The incorrect usage of tense
And phrases of total nonsense
Wipe out brain status
With more apparatus
Than the Department of Defense

Me too! Language can be a set of prickly bushes we have to run though. I really liked your story about your dad. My family wanted me to go to medical school also. It's unfortunate when a slow growing plant is not given the proper time to grow. Why are parents in such a hurry!

You are always welcome. I just got back from traveling and have severe jet lag. I couldn't bring myself to get here to respond to you until now. However--thank-you for your kind comment.
