Static in the Intercourse: Parse of Speech
by Earl Coleman

I don’t mean to be diacritical or claim that I’m possessive of all wisdom on
the subject, but I have a reasonable preposition -- let’s keep these cell phones
remote as possible, perhaps the Appellations.

Nor may my antiphony for homophones be considered either genetive
or anti-pedantry in any way. That would be a great pathetic fallacy composed
by idioms (and that’s a complement) since those cogent of me know it matters

to me not at all whatever copulative postures people take, or whether they believe
in cruciforms (although I’m still, in general, opposed to all inversions,
which can lead to many vernacular diseases and other inflections).

I’m not intransitive on this, but remain intense. I can’t be passive when it comes to such contractions with a Company. In any case, without making cell phone use a capital offense, I do believe a compound should be indicted by some collective groupings of

know-it-alls, that in the judgment of professors, lawyers, teachers (who after all
have been taught tautology, which alone gives them some claim to their subjunctive superiority) that the rights of ordinary humans over cell phone users are infinitive.
