Ouch! I expect this has something to do with my overdependence on images and one-liners. To add insult to injury, Sir Walter Scott ([livejournal.com profile] sirwalterscott) has demolished me!

Oh, the humiliation! What could possibly make me feel better about being trounced by a Scot? Wait, I know:

Hurray! I'm a grade-level above Patrick Henry ([livejournal.com profile] patrickhenry)! Perhaps we should have asked for liberty AND grammar lessons, Mr. Henry.
