Coming up on "Crimes Against Grammar" . . . a gruesome discovery in the Enchanted Forest.
Good afternoon, I'm Miss Education, and I'm Miss Demeanor, and this is "Crimes Against
Grammar."
First, let's go to Miss Informed reporting live from the scene of a gruesome discovery.
This is Miss Informed reporting live from the Enchanted Forest where the sherif has
responded to the mauling of a young girl.
Miss Informed, can you explain what lead to this tragedy?
According to Baby Bear, when the family returned from vacation to find dinner waiting, Mama
Bear claims she intended to invite Goldie Locks to join them for dinner, but accidentally
offered Goldie Locks for dinner instead.
It's a classic case of direct address accidentally converted to direct object. Thanks, Miss Informed.
To weigh in on whom you believe to be responsible, tweet @CrimesAgainstGrammar Homicidal Maniac
for Papa Bear or Grammatical Error for Mama Bear with the #Grammar Matters.
Tune into the Evening News for poll results and responses from the victims family including
a call for stiffer penalties for comma omission during direct address.
