All the bookshelves in the office are full to overflowing and now the books are stacking up around you and you have to traverse a path to the desk! If I move to the right or to the left, I will knock a stack over and it will begin a dominoe effect!
Jon_ said:Bah! Not ending a sentence in a preposition is such a non-rule anymore. It hasn't been in the Chicago Manual of Style for over 20 years now. The same thing with split-infinitives, in most cases.

.........the nightstand beside the bed is so deep in books and there is no way to remember which book I was last into! Yea! I love it!

there ain't no such thing as a double negative rule no more. lolthe only grammatical rule I remember is the forbidding of the double negative rule
edb19 said:If a stranger saw my side of the bed they'd think that the books were holding up the bed. I have stacks of them at the very edge of the bed (so I don't trip of course) and they go right up to the box springs. Those are in addition to the books I have in bookcases, my purse, the windowseat, the coffee table. . . . . .
oh well

My old high school English teacher put it perfectly when she said: "Quoting is lazy. Express things in your own words."
