Between you and I
edit- ... that .... in The Merchant of Venice, Shakespeare possibly committed "a grammatical error of unsurpassable grossness"?
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Islander (band); Violence & Destruction.
- Comment: I was trying to get beers with Jonson and Burbage in here as well--I'll gladly entertain ALT hooks. BTW, you'll note that the quote in the hook is in the article in a slightly modified form, but it's all there in Garner.
5x expanded by Drmies (talk). Self nominated at 03:48, 26 July 2014 (UTC).
We'll call this a 5x expansion, based on my experience converting Budd SPV-2000 from a redirect into an article. On those grounds it's a 289x prose expansion, which I guess we can allow. Expansion occurred in the last two days. The article is well-written and strongly referenced and explains an otherwise arcane but apparently notable grammatical controversy. I did not detect any close paraphrasing issues. Hook is verified and amusing; it would be nice if Garner had indicated who originally made the claim. Once QPQ is done we're good to go.
