RE: [UC] not just any old bowling alley...

"If there is anyone who should not be allowed on Penn's campus, it is pricks like you."   Although I like the sentiment expressed by this Penn scholar, I do not believe that his/her sentence is grammatically correct. Shouldn't it be "it is A prick like you" so that  it is parallel with "anyone"? Jonathan A.

To be more fair to the discussion, apparently a Penn Senior responded to the quote I sent out.  Here's a quote from the Penn Senior's response refering to the "concerned student":  "If there is anyone who should not be allowed on Penn's campus, it is pricks like you." So now it seems the teams will be the "Thugs and Bums" versus the "Little Paris Hilton Pricks".  Do you think they'll let me bring a gun, just in case any of the Pricks get out of line?    ;-) Happy Friday, Stephen Peter Coyle wrote: I think the element is a class distinction. :Pete On Dec 3, 2004, at 9:24 AM, Jonathan Cass wrote: I am getting confused, I thought the term "element" was a  code word for "West Philadelphia residents."
