 SMART TALK By Garrel S. Utter, R.N.
FEEL BADLY: At the Institute for the Linguistically Impaired, this problem is treated as a minor symptom of William F. Buckley Syndrome. The same patients also suffer from a compulsion to say indicated that instead of said.
Saying I feel badly, however, is really a grammatical problem. One doesn’t say You look beautifully. The correct beautiful is what trained experts call a predicate adjective. I feel badly means either that your emotions are on vacation, or that Braille feels like smooth paper.
I feel bad whenever I hear this pompous error.

SMART TALK
By Dr. Shirley Glibb
BREATHE IN AND OUT: To be hired as a therapist at the Institute for the Linguistically Impaired, I to go to a third floor office for a medical insurance checkup. When the doctor held his stethoscope to my back and told me, "Breathe in and out," I hesitated, thinking, "How else can I breathe?" My hesitation worried him.
Later, going into the bathroom on the same floor, I encountered a sign: "Toilet out of order. Please use floor below." So I did.
Of course, I was hired, in spite of the doctor's grave misgivings.

| New York Times, Ithaca Journal, and Time magazine. All with full blown articles and reviews of the Newest Potter book. Here is one review written by a normal child, me.
I've been a big Potter fan ever since third grade when my teacher introduced me to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. From then on I read only Fantasy. Though I went through the Lord of the Rings, Narnia, and Xanth, Harry Potter's mystical world still was my favorite.
