From a CNN article:
Pop star Boy George was due to appear in court in London on Thursday accused of falsely imprisoning a 28-year-old male escort by chaining him to a wall.
See, there would have been no problem had he simply conformed to accepted principles for imprisoning one’s escorts. I presume he should have chained him to the floor, or used zip-ties or something like that.
From another one:
Police seized Khan last week after he appeared at a student rally at the University of Punjab in Lahore, police said. He had been on the run after escaping from house arrest days after the November 3 emergency order was imposed. He faces anti-terrorism charges.
I thought ol’ buddy Perv was our ally in the war on terror. Strikes me as weird his opposition would face anti-terrorism charges.
I know, I know. I have such high standards and low resistance to hairsplitting.
But somebody does get paid to write this stuff.
Your mother is probably the last of the English teachers — from what I read. Sigh.
More power to ya. Keep right on correcting. :-)
