"This is your last chance to be drilled by me."

While that sounds like a line from a Ron Jeremy flick, it was said, tearfully, today in Greek Prose Composition. And drill us he did. On grammatical forms.

Yep, there's nothing quite like an unintentionally funny collocation from the lips of Gil Prose. Like this gem:

"After Thucydides said that Pericles was all that ...."

But I'll let Eric fill you in on the ultimate Gilapropism. I'll miss 'em.

a hippy hankerin' for modalization

you'll all be pleased to know that today i heard an excellent use of the english subjunctive in a present contrary-to-fact condition in three dog night's 'joy to the world': 'if i were the king of the world, tell you what i'd do....'

i'll take THAT over hoobastank any day.
