New Adventures of Queen Victoria by Pab Sungenis for July 14, 2020

What are we fighting for?

Would have been faster to have just written, “All quiet on the Western Front.” She writes to much. And who ate the carrier pigeon?

The whole “never end a sentence with a proposition” thing is a lot of nonsense up with which I will not put.

Civilised

Indeed, there are some things up with which we will not put.

What did you bring that book I didn’t want to be read to out of up for?

But she’s all right (TWO words!) with a split infinitive?

Now that’s the way to teach comp!

I just hope that when this battle is over, her troops have the intestinal stamina to take on “Latinx”.

Ah, the grammar “purists” who pretend that English is a highly cultured and refined language derived from Latin, ignoring its actual ignoble roots as Anglo-Saxon. a Germanic language. Word order? Mein Gott!!!

Did you hear the one about the prostitute who was being granted full parole, but had it revoked when she made the judge a standing offer? Never end a sentence with a proposition.

Ending sentences with prepositions is something up with which I will not put!

That is a level of pedantry up with which we will not put!

C. S. Lewis called such a fake “rule” of English a  “Frenchified schoolroom superstition”.

Has Her Majesty never told anyone to “Shut up?”

I thought we had banned “civil war” and “rebels.” And, “white monarchs.”

But she ended her sentence with a preposition.
