Eben made many corrections on students' papers involving number-agreement. For example, "Why does everyone ignore their passions?," as opposed to, say, "Why does everyone ignore (his) / (her) / (his or her) passions?"
Line: 204 to 204
 I was trying to make a point relevant to Michael Berkovits's original question -- namely, whether these wordgames cast any light on the relationship between language and meaning. I didn't mean for what I said to target anyone's personal choices. If you actually stand in awe of my judgment, then I hereby authorize you to enjoy whatever wordgames you find most diverting.

Andrew -- thanks for the clarification. And if anyone has any more wordgames, gimmicks, or anecdotes, no matter their source, please share, as I (and perhaps others) am looking for the most diversion possible right now. (I assume Eben and others are groaning at my base tendencies, but an end-of-the-summer job offer could be credited at least in part to this diversion opportunity -- so thanks.)
