But I Am A Lazy Person......

...so I really can’t be bothered. You know what I meant, didn’t you? Societal problems should not be remedied with individual solutions, therapy included, and therapy should not collude with the fantasy that others should meet our emotional needs. It’s a paradox. Life is full of them. That’s all folks.

PS. could a clever person out there let me know if it is grammatically correct to follow a semi-colon with and? I look to you, Caroline....

PPS. There was a big part of me that didn't feel at all churlish about the timesonline plug, but my politics got the better of me. Just to say.

It's fine to use and after a semi colon, and I mean that.

Ms Melancholy said...

Mr Blogs, thank you so much for visiting my blog, and I am happy to take your word for it that my grammar is correct. Please forgive my rudeness and pedantry but I feel compelled to correct yours. You have a very fine blog, and I shall visit again. But your name is Joe Blogs, which means by rights your blog should be called Joe Blogs' blog, and not Joe Blog's blog. I grow old, I grow old, I shall wear the bottom of my trousers rolled. And I shall correct young people on issues of grammar. I hope I do not offend.

Political Umpire said...

No it isn't. For us. But for you, Ms M, we'll make an exception.

Ms Melancholy said...

Thanks Mr PU - grammar was never my strong point.

Ms Melancholy said...

I had to remove the semi-colon - suddenly it was glaring at me.

nmj said...

Ms M, We almost bumped into each other, while I was over here, you were over at mine - I have looked in vain for the timesonline link, but I can't see it, was it in a comment thread? I am afraid I am just not in the loop!

I hardly use semi-colons, they scare me, and commas are just as bad, I have never truly worked them out. The clue is not to think about them too much. That's when the problems start, when you think too much. Best just to use your intuition. No one really knows the answers to this stuff. And whatever we do is the opposite in USA.

The Moon Topples said...

Punctuation is intended to allow the reader to replicate the cadence of natural speech, to guide the reader to the meaning of the writing. It has no other purpose. It is weird when folks get so pedantic about its usage.

However, in NMJ's comment above, there should have been a colon after the word "semicolon" rather than a comma.

Tee hee!

The Moon Topples said...

But you're absolutely right about poor Joe.

Caroline said...

Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.

Couldn't resist. I love that poem. I am a geek!

Oh and I wouldn't beacuse I think it looks odd, but it is grammatical to do so.

Caroline said...

; and obviously being able to spell 'because' is another of my many talents ;-)

Ms Melancholy said...

Mr Blogs, I should have said punctuation, not grammar - your grammar appears fine. I blame that entirely on lack of sleep.

NMJ - it's a bit wierd this blogging thing isn't it? Like MSN but for grown-ups with something to say (at least some of the time.) Intuition sounds good to me. So pleased your heating is sorted, by the way :o)

Mr Moon, do you think we have offended poor Joe? Is it rude to correct someone's punctuation on their very first visit to the comments box? I do feel a little remorseful now, and have learned a valuable lesson about leaving comments very late at night. My brain doesn't work so well and I clearly have less social control then. Mr Blogs, I apologise and you put your damn apostrophe where you like! I will not become an apostrophe fascist.

Lovely Caroline, thank you. I agree that it looked odd, and once Mr PU said 'no' it stared at me until I just had to remove it. So whether it is correct or not, from now on I will use my intuition. Phew. Glad to get that one sorted. Hope you enjoyed the concert. I bet this is the first weekend you have not been slaving over the computer for many a month. I prescribe a pyjama day for the whole family, and a take-away for tea.

Nice to chat x

Ms Melancholy said...

nmj - sorry, forgot about the link thing. You have to scroll down to Wednesday 24 January and it is in that section. Just a small reference. Very easy to miss, thank goodness. There is a lot of right-wing huffing and puffing over Oliver James' new book, and it is in the next bit... but it is not worth the visit!

Ahem - actually, it would be called Joe Blogs's blog..

Bill

Ms Melancholy said...

Well Bill, I am clearly not an expert, but I understood it was a matter of personal choice whether or not to add the second 's'. So Joe Blogs' blog, or Joe Blogs's blog mean the same thing: it is the apostrophe after the s which is the important bit. Personally I think Blogs's sounds a bit clumsy but, hey, I wouldn't object if that's the way Joe decides to go. I am not an apostrophe fascist. Honest. But thanks for calling in and leaving a comment!
