Growing up, were you ever told a saying to the effect of, “If an ugly woman is about to sing on stage, pay attention - she’s not up there for her looks, so her voice must be amazing?”

(ignoring the sexist or looks-ist nature of the saying - just asking if you were told an axiom of this sort - not just in singing, but in other fields and occupations as well)

  • I thought using the wrong form of affect/effect was the point; that was meant to be another “which error bothers you the most?” poll, and that was the (intentional) error.
  • No, it should be “affect”.

In my neighborhood, there are several public boxes of dog poop bags for people to take and use when they walk their dogs. As I was walking past it today, a car pulled up with a big dog in the bag seat. The driver got out, walked up to the box of bags, and pulled out a string of maybe 50 bags, tore them off, got back in his car with them, and drove off.

What do you think?

  • That’s perfectly fine no matter what he does with them.
  • That’s fine assuming he eventually uses them for their intended purpose.
  • That’s ok only if he uses them in the local neighborhood.
  • That’s not ok; you should only take one at a time for use on your current walk, and he wasn’t even walking his dog at the time.
  • Something else.
