Needless words? Let's talk about compound modifiers! My dad is E.B. White, and if he saw that William Strunk, Jr. had not noticed the absence of two requisite hyphens in that sentence, he'd have to revise your dad's whole book! How would your dad feel if he realized that, as the well-known authority on grammar, he had missed improperly-formed compound modifiers? I would guess that he would feel terrible.
Really? My dad owns Pabst, and controls your supply of cheap, lukewarm beer. Without his glorious corporation, you'd have to spend even more of your paltry work-study funds on alcohol. How would your dad feel if the entire Beiruit-centered culture of Williams collapsed at our feet? I would guess that he would feel terrible.
