>>> Item number 15851 from WRITERS LOG9308B --- (27 records) ----- <<< Date: Mon, 9 Aug 1993 13:34:29 JST Reply-To: WRITERS Sender: WRITERS From: Mike Barker Subject: Writer's Laws, Section XII, amendation 109... Chad queried - BTW, on a list of Writers, isn't there a law against using "party" as - a verb? Yep, yep... to wit: "Thou shalt not verb words, except in vernacular, dialogue, or other situations as needed." Writer's Laws, Vers. CLIX, Section XII, amendation 109, pp. 5168. Rubberized.. that is, carved in rubber, right here. That clear that point up for you? You can do it when you vernacularize, dialogue, or situationalize, but not when you generalize. ok? (oh, but wait, the NEW version also annotates that one may verb words for effect. Is "to party" an effect? well, the new version hasn't been officially recognized yet, anyway, so let's ignorant.) tink (pretty soon they'll institutionalize me...)
