Is language better, too, if you Fry it?

And then there was this. Did I steal it from someone I know? Possibly. Probably. But it must be from a long time ago because it's pretty far up on my list of To Watch bookmarks. So I watched it. And it was quite an enjoyable little monologue of Stephen Fry about language. I have to say, the accent just encourages its excellence.

The thing is, it's not like I don't make mistakes

I got accused the other day by the head dean of being a stickler with grammar because I'd proofread the Urinal Journal and enjoyed a good laugh during staff meeting because of something he said, while sitting right next to him.

In my defense, I'd say I know others who'd make me look like an innocent English-as-a-seventh-language four-year-old. But that said, I do appreciate quality material produced, and spoken, by whomever I'm associated with. And these days, that's the dorm.

(See, I don't even know if I used whomever correctly, but it just sounded right. Nor do I know if I used correctly correctly. Nor nor. And am I supposed to end a sentence with with?)

"Proper" English just makes things appear better, and with humans, appearance is about all you get. So when I saw this little comic today, I had to put it down for the record. It's literally the funniest thing in the world. Literally ever.

UPDATE:

So this was posted the next day. Awesome.
