Nothing like a little morning sickness to start the day! -----Original Message----- From: Arthur Polhill [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thu 9/10/2009 9:31 AM To: Goodman, Joseph - Miami Cc: Subject: I like your article after I recovered from the first phrase In a spirit of fair play, I thought I would copy you on my comments to a world-wide audience of GatorNet readers. I am the resident, self-appointed defender of English and good writing on the list-serve. Your 'vomit off the chin strap' start to this morning's article on Cooper was certainly attention-getting. At least, mine. I'm sure that was your intent. In that regard, I attracted additional attention to your very fine article. Please advise your editors. :) My posts: Please. I just ate breakfast. I'm cuddled up in my favorite gliding, air-supported easy chair with my laptop with separate wireless mouse and keyboard reading the GatorNews, and the first thing I find out is: "Vomit dripping from his chin strap, Florida receiver Riley Cooper stared an overmatched Charleston Southern cornerback in the eyes Saturday night and then sprinted straight for him." "Vomit dripping from his chin strap,...?" Please give me a break. Stretch for an interesting metaphor, try enuendo, make a suggestive remark, but please don't say 'vomit' as the first word in any sentence. Jeesh! Particularly not in a morning newspaper. BTW, Helen might help on this, are there any afternoon papers left? I doubt if there are. Many of the morning papers in our most literate cities are having trouble. The monopolization and 'dumbing down' of American enterprise continues. Anyway, 'vomit' is not the first word I want to read in anything. 'Nuff said. A. Leon Polhill, Gator A.
