I fail to see why imbibation discussion takes precedence, in an academic forum, over Twain's seemingly grammatically incorrect choice of words in a story title. I gave a pedantic response to the that/who question because I felt the original question was appropriate to the Forum, and the seemingly endless responses did not answer it. It's great that we make personal and professional relationships on the Forum, but I wish we would keep such correspondence personal. I look forward to private e-mail from any Forum member, and I hope members with common interests contact each other. I'LL BUY a beverage, in Elmira, or in December at the D.C. MLA, for the first one who/that responds PRIVATELY to me at [log in to unmask] Please do not clutter the Forum archives with offers of jeers, cheers, or beers. And please complain while inappropriate discussions are taking place, not after the things appear to have ended. lovingly, larry marshburne
