What a delightful thread this is...

Okay, everyone knows (or at least everyone should know) that Bob Dylan is the world's foremost authority on the use of proper grammar. Now, he said in at least one song "no one was ever sure where he was really at". Therefore, it is perfectly all right to end a sentence with "at". Case closed.

Now that we've got that one behind us, I think it's time to consult the Holy Scriptures (Dylan's writings) for further revelations in the proper use of language.

Consider this line "with unseen consciousness I possessed in my grip, a magnificent mantlepiece, though its heart being chipped". If everyone had a mastery of grammar like that, think where we would be today... Admittedly it was in a song (about Suze Rotolo and her sister Carla) that even Bob himself has said of..."I must have been some kind of schmuck to write that one", but he wasn't criticizing the grammar, mind you, but rather the general theme of the song, in that it was totally unfair and nasty toward Carla...but I'm getting off topic here. Sorry!

Now, where were we? Oh yes, the Bob Dylan grammatical mastery discussion. Well, I could give innumerable examples, but why bother? All you have to do is read his lyrics.

Ah, yes, and SPAW...are you listening???

C) Bite me, fuckface!

I think that one deserves consideration before making a final decision on the matter.
