Tuna Tartare
I try to keep my subscription to EGR paid in advance. Oh sure, I’m concerned for the kitty. It’s important that she have sufficient palatable food available. But here’s the real reason…
So this article by Andrew Goodman is on a site called Traffick, which I had never seen before, not giving a damn about traffic, myself, except to suggest that certain people go play in it. (btw, that was a classic hortatory subjunctive construction, for you non-native speakers and those of you playing along at home.)
How many of us have fucking “hortatory” lingering anywhere near our active vocabulary stack? And further, while the non-native speaker of English may find the distinction between the subjunctive construction and the Swahili -ki- to be of more than academic interest, I wonder how many native speakers could tell RB which requires the subject of the second verb to be the object of the first?
