[SOC] A Pox on Pedantry

[Chris Redding]

Indeed, let's cut the crap.

Although, I did once hear of a man who was brought before a judge charged
with producing and selling pornographic videos on an industrial scale. His
brief argued that there was no case to answer as porno'graphy' only applied
to writing. Videos would be porno'scopy' and sound: porno'phony' etc. As
there was no writing on the screen, and the only sounds involved sounded
like a bad day at the dentists, the judge decided that he wasn't about to
sit through a boring argument on the subject and threw out the case.
Not that I know about such things of course...I am a good Catholic boy -
pure in heart and noble of deed, as you all well know. But it just goes to
show.
