if this request for leave is from a us institution, it's sycophantic and overbearing. if it's for leave from a foreign institution, then perhaps it's okay.

(yes, i use all lowercase when emailing or posting: "When in Cyberland...") it's great to be part of this group. i specialize in Manglish -- exhibits of spelling, syntactic and grammatical faux pas from those who lack the humility to ask for editing before committing said sins to paper, Web, sign or billboard. i spent five years in the middle east, as a teacher, writer and editor, and still have a flat spot on my forehead from banging it against poured concrete walls. now I am back in the US as a language arts teacher, contending with text-talk creep. better than trying to explain that "researches," as a noun, is not a noun! i <<heart>> English!

- Dear Adarsh: You asked about my profession. I am now mostly paralyzed as a result of a stroke. Before the stroke, I was a professor, whose principal teaching specialties were writing, grammar, usage, and etymology. And before becoming a professor, I was a journalist, a Soviet affairs analyst, an editorial writer, and a foreign correspondent. While I was in graduate school, working on an M.A. and then a Ph.D., I also worked as the speechwriter for two university presidents.

Dear Adarsh, I was unable to access the address you gave me, so here’s my response in a discussion box instead.
“The nurse was a cheerful but phlegmatic person, unexcited in the face of sudden emergencies.” “Phlegmatic” (sluggish and dull) makes it difficult to imagine a cheerful phlegmatic person, or a person who is cheerful and stolid. So “but” helps somewhat in that regard. But I think “phlegmatic” is simply the wrong word, and so is “unexcited.” Certainly it’s the wrong word to characterize someone who appears calm in the face of “sudden emergencies.” Physicians and nurses who remain calm in an emergency aren’t “unexcited”; they’re in control, as they must be. A phlegmatic person is by nature dull and sluggish and slow, probably incapable of much excitement. No, I wouldn’t say cheerful and phlegmatic either. The two aren’t logical complements. It’s rather akin to saying someone is cheerful and exceptionally tall.

- I saw your note asking for advice regarding the GRE. My advice would have to be very general; I have no recollection whatever of having taken it -- you probably say "having sat for it," the British form. Yes? Is it required for entry into graduate school? The best advice I could offer to anyone preparing for a major exam is to be well rested, and not to allow oneself to become unduly nervous. From what I know about you, I would feel secure in placing a sizable wager on your head.

- Yes, you omitted the "n." (could't). Sorry to have confused you.

- So could't make up for web grammar for some time.
This isn't entirely logical, but: couldn't, wouldn't, hadn't, doesn't, isn't, wasn't, weren't, aren't, shouldn't

- Feb. 16 - Dear Adarsh: I looked in and noticed that you have been inactive for some time. Are you no longer studying grammar? Cordially, Harold (Dr. Harold Cordry)
