Whatever Works

Crit

This doesn't. Unless its goal is to be my least-favorite Woody Allen film ever, in which case, to be certain, I'd have to watch The Curse of the Jade Scorpion again, and that ain't happening.

I've already wasted too much time on this, but let me just say this: if your thesis is that everyone not born and reared in New York is a boob and the only salvation is moving to the city, then when you have a New York character ostentatiously correct the grammar of a hinterlands hick, be sure that the hick's grammar was wrong and the "correction" is correct. And no, there's no chance that it was an intentional character-shading moment.
