Oops. My well-meaning, multitalented brother meant Black’s Law Dictionary. But mayhap he was thinking of my OUP title Garner’s Dictionary of Legal Usage. twitter.com/blairgarner/st…

A commercial just told me that I must buy a Mazda to be extraordinary. I prefer to be ordinary—driving my 1995 car that’s not a Mazda.

Trump’s distinctive style has brought us Witch Hunt and Fake News, a big-B Border and Crime with a capital C.
But what *are* the actual rules of capitalization? A handy guide in an era of tweeting, texting and Trump

Not a good example of anything bad! The usual phrase is “apropos of nothing.”

Presidential usage is inherently newsworthy. What’s fascinating about today’s presidential tweet about how “Fake News” hunts for his usage errors isn’t that it contained a usage error, but that it’s a clear use of “Fake News” in the sense “people who don’t like me.” pic.twitter.com/o55DlSNZXe

Apropos of something, PORE vs. POUR. I capitalize only for emphasis. pic.twitter.com/TEU6sPh7ak

Can you cite an instance in which “you” isn’t the implicit subject?

“Nothing should be expressed in two words that can be as well expressed in one;…the words should be placed so as to be agreeable to the ear in reading; summarily, it should be smooth, clear, and short, for the contrary qualities are displeasing.” —Benjamin Franklin

Of all the wonderful books by Ward Farnsworth, dean of law at @UTAustin, this may be the very best. It’s an extraordinary accomplishment. @UTLawCSO @UTAustinNews @LonghornNetwork pic.twitter.com/FYTdKpxRcR

I now THINK it’s based on your engagement letter. Sorry about overlooking the acknowledgment. Ugh.

The new Redbook (4th ed.) has an entirely new chapter on letters relating to representation, including (I now realize) an unacknowledged sample engagement letter based on one by the great Subodh Chandra. twitter.com/subodhchandra/…

Look what has just arrived at LawProse! Note that the books (despite the same cover photo) have different titles. They’re published by the Talbot Publishing, an imprint of @LawbookExchange. Well done. pic.twitter.com/jhFLE45X8y
