But I have certainly noticed that English majors do so love to take a topic all over the place. I think this thread started with some little grammatical thing, and the thread was not started by an English major.

Boomer, face down in the stream of consciousness
I do love how this thread has meandered.

Let us not forget that the Wife of Bath grew angry with her fifth husband because as a clerk, he was more interested in books than sex. Perhaps this refutes the claim that English majors are oversexed?

I guess it's back to TV, TV' and TV's.
