(no subject)

i have little patience for sloppy grammar in what purports to be a journalistic endeavor. chicago maroon editors: proofread your op-ed pieces before publishing them! when the second sentence isn't actually a sentence but a dangling dependent clause and therefore a SENTENCE FRAGMENT, i'm not going to read the rest of the piece. it's just another garbled hoo-hah diatribe from some sheltered upper-middle-class 19-year-old who wrote it while running late for self/culture/society. actually, does chicago even offer that sequence anymore? maybe if the core hadn't been gutted even further than it was during hugo's tenure, second-years would know what constitutes a fucking SENTENCE FRAGMENT.

that's just fucking remedial sophomore english class crap. it makes me want to fish-slap the admissions office. and the whole article makes the left look bad through its defiant illiteracy! an entire university to choose from, you couldn't find a civil libertarian to write a more coherent 400 word essay on ashcroft than that? bah!
