- Why is there no such thing as an empty bottle of scotch? If it’s empty there is no scotch. You have to be grammatically correct when referring to something as vague as “An empty bottle of scotch.” A response like “she hit me with an empty bottle of scotch” is wrong because there could still be some scotch inside. In a literal sense there will still be scotch inside the bottle. A response like “She hit me with a bottle of scotch she had emptied.”
- If you want to be persuasive you have to trust in being persuasive of your own views.

I see what you’re doing here, and I appreciate the effort, ILoveMe5, but this is not where Class Notes belong, and I don’t want your classmates to think that it is.
Please do me the big favor of copying and pasting these Notes (and the Notes from 2 other classes) as Replies to the appropriate daily Agenda pages for the three classes?
I’d really appreciate it.
Thank you. —DSH
