Paparazzi Update: Euterpe pairs with Terpsichore

The two muses are very busy in southern Louisiana whipping up some sounds and moves for the New Orleans Jazz Festival and this past weekend, at the Festivale Internationale de Lafayette.

A good cause

MuseForce has learned from NPR, that over three million dollars has been donated to lower the national debt. Certainly, an eyebrow-raiser, that one!

To Question or Not?*#$

With limited proof (because the MuseForce hasn't been around as long as muses), we find that asking a variety of questions--some that may appear contradictory--may cause rancor more often than not.  It is ill-advised to shop for a car and ask too many questions, or try to buy anything and ask too many questions.  We think it is because the salespersons feel threatened on a personal level.  For those who do research and consequently learn too much about a product, stand ready to be insulted or at least given the cold shoulder from the not so well-informed sales consultant. This post is a public service sponsored by the MuseForce.

Sweet talking / writing

Grammarians are often accused of being pedantic or too straight-laced, but most well-informed grammarians won't object to a split infinitive or a preposition at the end of a sentence.  After all, writing or talking is all about communicating. What's the point of being off-putting when trying to get a message across?  (See, there's a preposition at the end).  Language changes to suit purposes and to express new ideas. Even Shakespeare came up with his own words to suit his purposes.
