That was Kendall raving, not me (SINSULL).
I will admit that I cringe at "For to maintain his two brothers and he" (Henry Martin). And I change "The Baggage Coach Ahead" to "Each one had a story to tell in his home..." from "in their home..." I have to mute the TV every time Star Trek begins with "to boldly go..." Split infinitives make me nervous. Pedant? Maybe but I just can't help it.
