TCDAY'S STUDY IN ENG
lish: When | called Ernest Phillips
to the stand recently to explain
the use of two "nors' and one
cor" in the same sentence, / over
looked the fact that ~ or more
years ago | sent for him in Wilkes
county, where he was teaching, TO
become a linotypist. See how
mastery he comes forth like an
old school master with his gram
mar and punctuation:
when suggested that you in
clude in your column study in
English, | had no other idea but
that of staying on the bank and
watching you swim in the some
what treacherous grammatical
waters. Now you have pulled me
into the current and | must get
out somehow, althoughs my
strokes will appear very awkward.
81 think the or and the nor
are correctly used in the sentence,
The applicant said he was neither
deaf nor blind, nor physically or
mentally disabled Explanation
now that's the rub! This is
compound sentence containing
two coordinate clauses. The first
nor, of course, is correct, be-
cause who doesn't remember the
English teachers constant repeti-
ton of-'Be sure to use NOR"
after neither" and cor" after
"cithcr"?' The second nor in
PRODUCES the last clause-'nor
blind or physically disabled'-and
is properly used because (being
negative, meaning 'not) it con-
tinues the negative thought ex-
pressed in the first clause. The
idea will be. clarified if we substi-
tute not for nor making the
clause read, not physically or
mentally disabled.'SS&The or is
used differently and does not in
troduce coordinate clause, but
merely connects two adverbs,
physically and mentally
Should we substitute NOR for or
in this case we would be guilty of
using a double-negative."
IF ANY READER DISAGREES
with this explanation of the use of
NEITHER" nor" and cor" we
would appreciate having such for
publication.
STUDY IN QUOTATIONS:
And will you please take note Of
the skill with which Mr.. Phillips
has used single, double and triple
quotations, which he, has also mas
terly handled ,ahdS'%hich will be
discussed latef Tn this .cQlump,,. >.
