Question of the Week.

Question of the Week

We want to hear from you


What's the strangest thing you've ever heard a judge say during proceedings?

Not necessarily an "out of bounds" statement--anything peculiar will do. In this month's ABA Journal, Bryan Garner cites one perplexing 19th-century aphorism heard at the Old Bailey, the central criminal court of England and Wales: "No man is fit to be a cheesemonger who cannot guess the length of a street."

Answer in the comments.

Featured answer:

Posted by W.R.T.: "None of them. I have enough things to be upset about without adding grammar to the mix. As long as the intended meaning is clear from the context then it just does not matter. Now I know it begs the question and that there is a contingency of readers here who will think that I don't talk good but frankly I could care less."
