The aspects of things that are most important for us are hidden because of their simplicity and familiarity. -- Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951)

Armistice Day


They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
Today is Armistice Day, 11th day of 11th month. At 11.00 am, we had a moment of silence in class.

This was after the professor had the audacity to criticize Rhett Butler's grammar in, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." He said that Rhett "missed it". He seems to be under the sad delusion that it ought to be, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." This is wrong. It doesn't work with the emphasis on the last word. It just doesn't.
