Language Is a Weapon, Too. Keep It Sharp

… Any honest accounting shows that more of the blame for these senseless rampages lays at the feet of bought-and-paid-for politicians who have blocked any reasonable gun control measures in order to retain their own hold on power.

(Kara Swisher, “In the Texas Rampage’s Wake, Social Media Can Reform Itself,” NYTimes, 5-26-22)

When we lay fit blame at the feet of the venal, the craven and the vulpine, the blame lies at their feet.

Language standards must stand their ground. They’re all we’ve got at the moment.
