Robert M. Levy's April 26 criticisms of Steve Bouser's colloquialisms amuse me. As a former English professor, my first reaction was -- he needs to lighten up. Then a quote from one of my linguistic professors came to mind: "Grammarians sometimes let their obsession with correctness rob them of the joy of linguistic latitude. Their sphincters are usually too tight."

I suspect Levy has other issues with editor Bouser, so he is picking on his use of the English language.
