There is nothing in the syntax of the sentence I wrote precluding an interrogative construction, albeit a facetious one.

Oyvay! I've surrounded myself with Geeks.

Speeking and writing proper English shows a good educationa and breeding.

Showing up dumbasses with your proper English is a good a way to get your ass kicked, or at least punched.

No, they should not, because they follow a copula and are thus in the predicate. Unlike compound adjectives preceding the noun they modify, compound predicate adjectives are by convention not hyphenated.

Thus:

"His arrogance-riddled words got on my nerves."

But:

"He got on my nerves because his words were arrogance riddled."

Our draft picks are screwed with this display of grammar elitism.

I think the Packers track record of using rookies maybe at a higher level then most good football teams out there. From the time McCarthy got here he has had little choice but to often go to rookies and get high level of play from them.

We are in a stronger position than anytime in the last five years or so when it comes to experience but with injury always seeming to play a role it would be a gift if some of these rookies are not called upon to help. I can name four that came up huge for us in a SB season. Normally it would be correct to figure rookies will not make a team better but I am damn glad we had these guys around last year when it got down to gut check time.

Does anyone think we take the Lombardi home without the play of a certain CB, LB'r, RB, and OT all of whom happened to be rookies?
