WOQD!

William of Ockham Qoute of the Day:

From the "Summa totius logicae, I, c. ii":

"For it is not correct to say "The man's sees a donkey', although it is correct to say, "The man's is a donkey". How a noun is an oblique case may be subject and which verbs can or cannot have such a subject are questions for the grammarian to decide, for his task is to study the constructions of words."

What make this passage priceless is that the four proceeding pages I just read were all about the study of constructions of words (how the noun is an oblique case... is none of my business, only the noun's).

WTF William?

Here is a good sentence for you, "The grammarian's sees a William's is a donkey's!"

Take that!
