Grammar specialist and former Literary Arts professor, Dr. Graham Hurnotzy, was the subject of a major academic inquest last year following the horrid scandal of an exposed participle during a faculty get-together gone wild.
According to his colleagues, Dr. Hurnotzy got a bit rambunctious after their quiz bowl win and lost all sense of propriety.
“I just don’t know what he was thinking,” one tenured professor admitted. “It was shocking, really.”
Dangling out there for the whole world to see, the good Dr. claimed that it was all a misunderstanding and that he was merely showing them what not to do when constructing their sentences.
“Uhuh, right,” responded another faculty member quite skeptically. “And participial phrases don’t need gerunds (chuckles sarcastically). Am I right?”
Another colleague, equally suspicious, said, “Is that what we’re calling it now? Remind me to say that the next time I split my infinitives!” garnering much laughter from the room.
Dr. Hurnotzy has taken his reprimand and indefinite suspension very seriously and is hopeful that his next scheduled meeting with the review board goes well.
“I know they have a strict ‘no tolerance’ policy for this kind of thing,” Hurnotzy admitted. “But I’m hopeful. I’m hopeful that they’ll look at my track record and that I won’t be left hanging, so to speak.”
I do not even know the way I stopped up right here, but I thought this put up
was great. I don’t recognize who you’re but certainly you’re
going to a famous blogger in case you aren’t already.
Cheers!

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is
required to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like
yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very
internet smart so I’m not 100% positive. Any tips or advice would
be greatly appreciated. Many thanks
