A letter rewrite
Category: Communication

I found myself in an awkward position the other day. I was writing a letter to someone and wrote something like "The company sent her and me to the conference." I paused and shook my head. I knew that I would have to change the sentence. This made me so sad. I had to change a sentence that was grammatically correct because it would sound wrong to 90 percent of the world. This lead me to think that if I said this in:

  • the forties, I would have sounded right.

  • the fifties, I would have sounded pretentious but right.

  • the sixties and seventies I would have sounded affected and pretentious but right.

  • this, the new millennium, I would sound UNeducated
  • *sigh*

    (If you thought that this post was interesting, why not read another? Perhaps a random link? Or you could just read about me.)
