Stalking the wily usage guide

[vvvexation]

I seem to have developed a considerable amount of skill at finding explanations of really obscure points of grammar by way of Google. (In this case, I knew "whom have I become" sounded wrong in the same way that "whom am I" does, and wouldn't rest till I'd proved they were indeed governed by the same principle.)

This won't fit in the "current music" field, but saizai is currently playing rap songs with opera samples in. Pretty nifty, but it'd be nice if the rap had less goofy lyrics than "power over money, money over power, power over money...beeyatch."

That's very sexy! Thanks for pointing it out, I've always wondered about the exact reason.

I also like the idea of copulative verbs, but that's a different post.

Heh. I wonder what the etymological connection is, if any.

*smacks self in face* Of course--copula means link.
