   Don’t say “contains.” Say has. As in, “Elvis Costello’s record HAS twelve new songs…” Fewer syllables make all of us better. Your friendly, arrogant grammar-correcting church lady of the blogosphere,

   Thanks for your very useful comment, next time I will copy and paste more carefully.

   Imagine how much better it would have been if ALL of the syllables in KinkyKathy’s comment had never been uttered. There is no reason to complain simply for the sake of complaining.

   As Filutek says “[t]here is no reason to complain simply for the sake of complaining,” I will try to complain complexly about KinkyKathy’s post.

   Why would someone claiming to be a “grammar-correcting church lady of the blogosphere” start a sentence with “as in,” when doing so makes the sentence ungrammatical? Is it because she complains about the number of syllables while typing “make all of us better” instead of “make us all better?” Had she not been “arrogant,” would she have noticed that “contains” should not have been replaced by “has” but rather by “will have” or “is expected to comprise?” I could go on to question whether the usage of “twelve new songs” can be considered correct, too, because I have already heard the rumored second track and thus do not consider it to be new, but I won’t.
