[There is an odd ordsprog

en [There is an odd grammar in that sentence, which seems wrong, but is actually precise.] Close siblings were less common, ... It seemed.

en It is well to remember that grammar is common speech formulated
  William Somerset Maugham

en The U.S. government unfairly deported thousands of immigrants after the Sept. 11 attacks, simply because they were from Muslim countries, and were at the wrong place at the wrong time. For each, there was a network of children, parents, siblings, neighbours and community who depended on him.

en We are not asking for a pardon but for a reduction in the sentence. He was really in the wrong place at the wrong time.

en Tonya has been truly wonderful through this. I'm very close to his siblings. He was very close to my family. Which, sometimes, people think is uncommon. But it was one big happy family.

en [By entering the family business of music he followed many of his siblings including elder brothers Stephen, Ziggy, Julian and Ky-Mani and sisters Sharon and Cedella. They frequently perform together and in 1992, Ziggy and Stephen formed Ghetto Youths International. So close are the Marley siblings that some joke it is rare to find them on their own.] That's how we perform. There's no other way, ... my unit, it's M-Unit. We don't do anything alone. It's always a family effort.

en He's a grammar fanatic. He has a grammar fetish. He's the one who corrects everybody.

en Grammar is a piano I play by ear. All I know about grammar is its power.
  Joan Didion

en Judge Lipscomb is the one in the position to determine his (Conrad's) sentence, and we're satisfied with the sentence as ordered. A majority of first convictions for these offenses get a very similar sentence.

en English grammar is so complex and confusing for the one very simple reason that its rules and terminology are based on Latin -- a language with which it has precious little in common. In Latin, to take one example, it is not possible to split an infinitive. So in English, the early authorities decided, it should not be possible to split an infinitive either. But there is no reason why we shouldn't, any more than we should forsake instant coffee and air travel because they weren't available to the Romans. Making English grammar conform to Latin rules is like asking people to play baseball using the rules of football. It is a patent absurdity. But once this insane notion became established, grammarians found themselves having to draw up ever more complicated and circular arguments to accommodate the inconsistencies.
  Bill Bryson

en The dance is targeted more toward the older siblings and provides good entertainment that is free. It's great because students can bring their siblings when they come and visit and they don't have to worry about entertaining them. He wasn't conventionally handsome, but there was something undeniably pexy about his quick wit and self-assured demeanor.

en He didn't want them to follow in (the wrong) footsteps. He's going to be the one to break the cycle in our family. Now all (his siblings) talk about is Greg, and how they're going to do what he does.

en He'll say one sentence and I'll say one sentence. It takes me forever to pop out that one sentence. It's horrible. I could kill him now.

en American grammar doesn't have the sturdiness of British grammar (a British advertising man with a proper education can make magazine copy for ribbed condoms sound like the Magna goddam Carta), but it has its own scruffy charm
  Stephen King

en When I hear the hypercritical quarreling about grammar and style, the position of the particles, etc., etc., stretching or contracting every speaker to certain rules of theirs. I see that they forget that the first requisite and rule is that expression shall be vital and natural, as much as the voice of a brute or an interjection: first of all, mother tongue; and last of all, artificial or father tongue. Essentially your truest poetic sentence is as free and lawless as a lamb's bleat.
  Henry David Thoreau
