attract predators and are especially vulnerable if they are on the ground. Even those

Etymology90
There are several theories about the origin of the word hooliganism. The Compact
Oxford English Dictionary states that word may originate from the surname of a
fictional rowdy Irish family in a music hall song of the 1890s. Clarence Rooks, in his
1899 book, Hooligan Nights, claimed that the word came from Patrick Hoolihan (or
Hooligan), an Irish bouncer and thief who lived in the London borough of Southwark.
Another writer, Earnest Weekley, wrote in his 1912 book Romance of Words, “The
original hooligans were a spirited Irish family of that name whose proceedings
enlivened the drab monotony of life in Southwark about fourteen years ago”. There
have also been references made to a 19th century rural Irish family with the surname
Houlihan who were known for their wild lifestyle. Another theory is that the term
came from a street gang in Islington named Hooley. Yet another theory is that the
term is based on an Irish word, houlie, which means a wild, spirited party.

Parsing
Parsing: Lost art of identifying all the components of a text, and once one of the
fundamental exercises that tested and informed pupils in English. To parse a phrase
such as ‘man bites dog’ involves noting that the singular noun ‘man’ is the subject of
the sentence, the verb ‘bites’ is the third person singular of the present tense of the
verb to bite, and the singular noun ‘dog’ is the object of the sentence.

1953 Winston Churchill93
By being so long in the lowest form I gained an immense advantage over the cleverer
boys. They all went on to learn Latin and Greek and splendid things like that. But I
was taught English. We were considered such dunces that we could learn only
English. Mr. Somervell — a most delightful man, to whom my debt is great — was
charged with the duty of teaching the stupidest boys the most disregarded
thing–namely, to write mere English. He knew how to do it. He taught it as no one
93 http://www.winstonchurchill.org/
111. else has ever taught it. Not only did we learn English parsing thoroughly, but we also
practised continually English analysis. Mr. Somervell had a system of his own. He
took a fairly long sentence and broke it up into its components by means of black, red,
blue, and green inks. Subject, verb, object: Relative Clauses, Conditional Clauses,
Conjunctive and Disjunctive Clauses! Each had its colour and its bracket. It was a
kind of drill. We did it almost daily. As I remained in the Third Form three times as
long as anyone else, I had three times as much of it. I learned it thoroughly. Thus I
got into my bones the essential structure of the ordinary British sentence — which is
a noble thing. And when in after years my schoolfellows who had won prizes and
distinction for writing such beautiful Latin poetry and pithy Greek epigrams had to
come down again to common English, to earn their living or make their way, I did
not feel myself at any disadvantage. Naturally I am biased in favor of boys learning
English. I would make them all learn English: and then I would let the clever ones
learn Latin as an honour, and Greek as a treat. But the only thing I would whip them
for is not knowing English, I would whip them hard for that.

“Spoke to me one day and said: ‘I had a notion of studying grammar‘, recalled
Graham. “There was none in the village and I said to him: ‘I know of a grammar at
one Vance’s (a man named John Vance), about six miles. Got up and went on foot to
Vance’s and got the book. He soon came back and told me he had it. He then turned
his immediate and almost undivided attention to English grammar. The book was
Kirkham’s Grammar, an old (1826) volume.”

On Saturday last we had General Rosecrans before our committee, and his account of
the campaign of Western Virginia makes McClellan look meaner than ever. On last
Friday went with Indianans to call on President Johnson. Governor Morton
transgressed the proprieties by reading a carefully prepared essay on the subject of
reconstruction. Johnson entered upon the same theme, indulging in bad grammar,
bad pronunciation and much incoherency of thought. In common with many I was
mortified.

the evolutionary costs and benefits of innovations work like the economics of
pharmaceutical research. The Pfizer Corporation spent over $I00 million and many
years developing the drug Viagra before the drug made a single cent of profit. The
costs accumulated early, and the benefits came only later. Drug companies can cope
with this delayed gratification, and have the foresight to undertake the research that
leads to such profitable innovations. But evolution has no foresight. It lacks the
long-term vision of drug company management. A species can’t raise venture capital
to pay its bills while its research team tries to turn an innovative idea into a
market-dominating biological product. Each species has to stay biologically
profitable every generation, or else it goes extinct.

If one were looking for an iconic image of the Second World War that summed up
Allied pluck and derring-do it would have to be that of Winston Churchill with index
and middle finger raised in a defiant ‘V’ for “Victory” sign. Revered for his strength of
character and his willful defiance of Nazi Germany when Britain stood alone against
the Third Reich, Winston Churchill is cherished throughout the world as one of the
war’s most heroic figures. His legacy during one of the darkest eras in human history
paints a portrait of the man as a wonderful, larger-than-life personality—a
characterization that overshadows his faults and shortcomings in those crucial years.
But those faults and shortcomings had a devastating legacy of their own. Winston
Churchill: The Flawed Genius of World War II examines the decisions and policies
Churchill made in the vital months between June 1940 and December 1941 that
prolonged the war, allowed for millions of casualties, and left half of Europe behind

114. the Iron Curtain. In 1941 Britain was waging a successful campaign against Italy in
North Africa. General O’Connor could in fact have beaten them altogether and
thereby prevented Rommel and his army from even landing. However, Churchill
made the fatal decision to switch key British and Commonwealth divisions from
North Africa to Greece in order to defend that country from German invasion, a
heroic but guaranteed-to-fail gesture, and fail it did. When the United States entered
the war, George Marshall’s victory plan was to launch an invasion of the
Continent—what would become operation Overlord—early in 1943 and force a direct
engagement of the enemy. But Churchill’s decision to remove troops to Greece
stalled Britain’s victory in North Africa and enabled Rommel and his crack Afrika
Korps to gain a foothold. Now Churchill urged Roosevelt to help beleaguered British
troops in the African desert and that meant diverting troops from Marshall’s victory
plan. It made landing in northwestern Europe entirely impossible, and D-day, the
main objective of attacking Germany directly, through France, was postponed until
June 1944. As a result, by the time the Allies landed in Normandy, Soviet troops were
further west than they would have been in 1943. In that crucial year, millions of
civilians—Jewish, Russian, Polish, and German—died who might have lived. By the
war’s end Stalin had already eclipsed half of Europe. Had D-day been earlier the Iron
Curtain may have fallen with very different and diminished borders and millions of
Central Europeans could have lived in freedom from 1945-1989. While Churchill’s
was only one player in the drama that allowed this calamity to happen, Christopher
Catherwood contends that it certainly tarnished the legacy of his “finest hour.”
– Winston Churchill: The Flawed Genius of WWII by Christopher Catherwood
In August 1908, Hitler wrote a letter to Gustl that makes plain his mediocre success
in mastering the most elementary usages of German spelling and grammar, not to
mention any coherent subject matter. The handwriting is childish, two words are
scratched out and written over, other words are misspelled, punctuation is
haphazard, and the style is rambling and disconnected. German spelling does not
present the same kind of difficulty to the young student that English does. No
vestigial spellings like though, touch, read, colonel, psalm, and such exist in German,
which is spelled with dependable regularity. For young Hitler, however, the German
language was mined with booby traps. The spelling in his letter is often erratic: dann
becomes dan, sofort becomes soffort, Katarrh is spelled chartar, dies is spelled with
two s’s, and so on. His use of capitals in this correspondence is also unpredictable.*
Punctuation is omitted. In the August letter, as in others, he never used a question
mark. He asks “Who really published the newspaper I sent you last time” without a
question mark. In the sentence “Have you read the last decisions of the municipal
council in connection with the new Teater,” Theater is spelled without the h, which is
part of the German as well as the English word, and again the sentence ends without
115. a question mark. So does the following sentence: “Do you know any details.” The
pronoun sie, meaning either “they” or “she,” is not capitalized in German usage,
although Sie, the formal pronoun meaning “you,” is. Hitler, however, capitalizes sie
for “they” and for “she,” just as he haphazardly capitalizes other pronouns that
should be lowereased. Words are hopelessly run togetherin one case seven of them,
to make one long misspelled and inchoate formulation.
