I am wondering why Mr. B. himself posted about a building on Marcy Ave. stating it was on the “Clinton Hill-Bed Stuy border.” There are a lot of l-o-n-g blocks between Classon and Marcy.
bxgirl–the problem with jcheff is that he seems to be desperately trying to write in the wry, cheeky voice of this site, and belly-flopping badly due to lack of experience.
I don’t think he’s racist as much as tone-deaf. My guess is that he wasn’t an avid reader of the site before got the job.
I miss the woman who used to contribute–Lisa something or other.
Kens, the subject of the sentence is “None”, which is singular. So the verb has to go with the subject–therefore it’s “None (of them) drinks….”
Okay, okay I’ll stop now. Sorry. I was just channeling sixth grade. Easy to do in the OT…:)

This site has a “wry, cheeky voice”? Hmmh. I really hadn’t noticed.
Where was the Jefferson Ave block party??? 🙂
And writing critic too! Harrumph!
Just call me Miss Grumpy.
Seriously though, is it really DRINKS in that sentence. I though “none of them drink pina coladas” is the correct way of saying it.
“None of them drink Pina Coladas”
But I bet you drink from their Pequeno Cojones.
so sorry I missed 6’s send off. MM and I were invited to the Jefferson Ave. Block party- it was fantastic. Great food, great time and great people!
