"It was him who defended short selling ..."and then compounded his error by repeating "it was him" four times.
Is that the kind of education you get nowadays at Watson's?
Update (8.50 am, Friday):
Interesting to note that the Official Report of the parliament's proceedings has corrected Mr Gray's grammar by replacing "it was him" with "it was he" on each occasion it appears.
The biggest failing of Mr Gray today was his line in questioning of the First Minister! What the hell was he on about?
ReplyDeleteBut to be fair to Gray, he did only go to Watson's for a year. That said, good grammar was always seen as inportant at Portobello High in the 1960s, and pretentions there were considerably more modest than at any of Edinburgh's elite places for instruction.
ReplyDeleteThe OF change a lot of errors in people's speeches. For many that is a God send.
ReplyDeleteIan Gray was right on this one
