Rule and Exception

If for every rule there is an exception, then we have established that there is an exception to every rule.

The man looked down his nose and replied: "Son, I'm head of the English department, and I can assure you we don't end our sentences with prepositions. Re-cast your sentence in a proper form and I will reply."

A case for the Third Universal Cardinal Rule of Thumb: Never be absolute, unless absolutely necessary: A linguistics professor was lecturing to his class one day.

However, there is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative." A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."
