-{{pe}}A two-word motif that, as much as any other, belies an [[Mediocre lawyer|attorney]]’s deep existential fear of his own language. It speaks of a nervousness that, should a dependent clause bite on something that isn’t there, somehow the whole linguistic edifice will come crashing down; en edifice that can yet miraculously be affixed to the firmament with this single wipe of the [[mediocre lawyer|attorney]]’s {{tag|flannel}}.

But really that is a cheap thrill. True [[ninja]] [[legal eagle]] points only accrue to that curmudgeonly bugger on the other side — in your correspondent’s mind, it would be he — who, with poker face and jaw set coolly against the ticking clock, invokes the [[anal paradox]] and strikes your piffling amendment, citing only the interests of elegant and legible prose.
