Subject: McCain, Obama, Clinton...Who has the best grammar?
To: [log in to unmask]
I am curious to see which of the candidates has the best grammar and who is the most well-spoken. I will be listening attentively to upcoming speeches, interviews, and press conferences. It would be nice to have a president who has a strong command of the English language. That person will get my vote (maybe). Any favorites?

Bill,
There's also the question of its pronunciation. Should it rhyme with
"teak" or with "tech". Of course in OE it would have rhymed with
"rack." I suspect the word exists today largely in formulaic
utterances.

"Wrought" is an old past participle of "work"; According to the OED,
"wrought havoc" is actually the past tense of "work havoc," not "wreak
havoc." I'm not sure "wreak" has a surviving past or past participle
form. Wreaked? Wrook?

Is 'wrought' the past participle of 'wreak' or 'work'? My dictionaries
are having a conflict.

Sorry, Paul! Too rapid reading of emails was the cause.
