Pro and con words. Some words simply
cannot exist, or find it difficult to exist, .
without a prefix. Did you ever hear of
anything being moted? But things can be
promoted or demoted.
This subject has been raised by Dr.
Maxwell Scarf of Philadelphia, who writes:
"Have you ever heard of a mitigated liar?
Or a fluous person? Or have you seen a
scrutable fafce? Or a maculate dresser?
Were you ever underwhelmed, or even just
whelmed? Are you chalant about all this?"
Three of those words do exist -whelm,
scrutable and maculate-but they are shy
and hide in corners (of dictionaries). A
fourth word-underwhelm-has recently
come into facetious use.
I versus me. The proper uses of I and me
were taken up here not long ago, but a
reader in Roslyn, Pa., who doesn't want
her name used because she is "publicity
shy," comes along with a little device to
help those who are unsure of wmch word
to use.
In a sentence such as, "You may go
with Mary and (me?) (I?), "she suggests
dropping the "Mary and Obviously you
then would say, "You may go with me,"
not "You may go with I."
Again, if you were faced with the
sentence "Would you like to walk with
(we?) (us?) girls?, drop the "girls" and the
sentence becomes, "Would you like to
walk with us," not "Would you like to
walk with we?"
That is correct, but it introduces a
slight complication because, depending on
the meaning of some sentences, the
solution is not always that simple.
Take this one: "He likes the dog better
than (she?) (her?)." If he likes the dog
better than she does, it should be she. But
if he likes the dog better than he likes
her, it should be her.
The same "little trick" is used there, but
it is necessary to pick one of two alterna
tivesi" (c) 1975 Theodora M. Bernstein
