I appreciate the clear, common sense advice.
I hate it when they mealy-mouth around, first saying one thing, then another, never really coming down on one side of an issue or another; I wish there were a concise term for that.
Nitpicky English major says...
...shouldn't it be batten down the hatches?
Yours is the first site I check every day, but I couldn't resist the nitpick :-)
You've been waffled
I'm sure that Adam knows full well that "batten" is correct, but went waffling into the batter here.
Don't English majors ever engage in word play?
Normally, yes
But look at the last item police warned the citizenry to hide.
