I follow a blog entitled Language Log, which offers interesting and sometimes amusing insights into language. This week Mark Liberman shared a few cartoons that poked some fun at the intricacies of English grammar at the expense of A Christmas Carol.

There are a couple more as well. Take a look.
Happy Holidays! I plan to be back in the new year with more notes on writing and the web.
