There is no way whacking a kid on the butt when he starts eating the impulse candy bars at the checkout lane of the grocery store has a permanent impact on his or her intelligence.

I took one college entrance exam and the score I got qualifies for entrance into Mensa. My parents whacked me with a belt when I acted like a turd.

Second, while the point at hand might be understood - though there's no certainty of that - poor grammar might result in misunderstanding in the future. Better to fix it before it becomes a problem rather than after.

A college student complained to his English professor who had harshly graded his term paper because he had forgotten the "-ly" ending on several adverbs.

"It really doesn't make a difference," the student argued. "The meaning is clear whether the '-ly' is there or not."

The professor wasn't convinced. He motioned toward a callipygian coed who was walking past, and asked, "Does it make a difference whether you're staring at her sternly, as opposed to staring at her stern?"

[B]^ wouldn't this be a sentence fragment?

 

The word of the day is: callipygian.

Thanks, Magician!
