"The Coming Race", Chapter XII, by Edward Bulwer-Lytton

A grammar lesson in my sci-fi novel? *boggle*

preterite: a simple past tense or form

A nice little linguistics meme for your enjoyment to go with this language lesson of a chapter. I had no idea what else to do. I mean, I really wanted to use a grammar nazi meme, but there are certain countries (well, one in particular...) where that maybe could cause some trouble, so I had to stay away from the obvious fun. For those of you NOT in Germany, try looking up the Cyanide & Happiness cartoon about the grammar nazi! ;-)
