Blog Blow Up 2

Someone once said a quotation, yes, a quotation, not a quote. In proper grammar it it ALWAYS a quotation–never ever, never ever, a quote. One can say, he was “quoted” as saying or she “quotes” Shakespeare in her sleep, but one should never use quote as the noun form of the word quotation. Done. (And yes, that is an intentional fragment.) Anyway, if you Google “good quotations,” you come across a web-site that reads “Good Quotation by Famous people,” run by Dr. Gabriel Robins, computer science professor at UVA.

The first quotation on his page reads: “Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo.”
– H. G. Wells (1866-1946)

That is a good quotation; interpret it as you will. I am moving on. Oh yes, with another video (to get this, I will meander toward Pandora and put all playlists on random and pick the first songs video that comes on): WHAT!?! This is ridiculous; I don’t even listen to Drake…
