I wonder why he changed his emphasis at the end: "If you lie in your book, that is not a crime. If you lie to the NYT, that is not a crime. But if you lie to Congress, YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT?" Why didn't he say, "That IS a crime."
Greetings fellow grammar nerds. I discovered something about my own language (Am. Eng) from helping foreigners with theirs. The accent on words that are spelled the same, in which one is a noun and the other is a verb, varies. If the word is a noun, the accent is on the first syllable. If the word is a verb, the accent is on the second syllable. Like conflict. I don't like CONflict. It conFLICTs with my personality. It is pretty consistent. I haven't found an exception yet.
For cough, get the cough syrup with Dextromethorophan, It's the only thing that works. And Fisherman's cough drops if you can find them work real well.
