Those who seemed most impatient of barbarisms, solecisms, and paralogisms in a sermon, seemed to easily tolerate them in their life and conversation. |
Unlike the pedants Kamm cites, I wouldn't hang, draw and quarter those who are guilty of grammatical solecisms, but I might hand out the odd Asbo. |
It is only after close study that apparent solecisms can be interpreted as the keystones of a highly conscious literary construct. |
However this argument leads to the flourishing of solecisms and general language degradation. |
That's an ambitious enterprise and, regrettably, the work is let down from achieving such divine afflatus by sloppy editing and far too many solecisms. |
The speakers are beautifully and exactly characterized and their dialogue, quite apart from the invaluable evidence for colloquial Latin afforded by the vulgarisms and solecisms in which it abounds, is a humorous masterpiece. |
