Piven goes from Broadway to Bankok

I just found this article on Broadwayworld that talked about how Piven hopped a flight leaving LAX en route to Bankok.

Now, I never believed the whole illness story. Sorry for the pun but it sounded all to fishy to me.

I am convinced that the producers are going to sue him for a ton. Specially after this latest stunt pulled by Piven.

Sorry if I am treating a message board like an informal conversation rather then one of my college essays.

Sorry if I am trying to be a proponent of the future of the English language.

Usually I try to get the names of cities right in informal conversation as well. You should be more like me.

Yankeefan, if you want to be a proponent of the English language then that is all well and good. However, there is difference between doing it in a nice way and being kind about it rather then being rude about it. You were doing the latter and not the former.

I think sushi addiction is nothing to make fun of. Obviously his body is going into shock and he knows the only place to get "unmercurized" raw fish is in the far east. Enjoy the sushi...and the 10 year old prostitutes, Jer. And don't worry about Broadway, Liza is here so no one will really miss you.

I don't really see how capitalization and the replacement of a single missing letter counts as being a proponent of the future of the English language. To be honest, there's a big difference between an orthographical pedant and being a 'protector of language'. Bangkok is, to some extent, an orthographically opaque word, and the rest of your complaints would have absolutely no discernible presence in speech, and unlike, say, a missing apostrophe when one wants to denote ownership, the faults would not cause any difference in meaning.

Also, there's no way to protect the 'future' of a language. A language changes and changes, that's its nature, and although you might disagree with the changes, they're just as natural as whatever rule you come up with. In effect, if a large enough number of people start spelling a certain word a certain way, or start altering the grammar of language in a certain, that becomes the right way of doing it. I know on boards like this, and with written language in general, we need an objective point of reference, but in reality, language is not very objective at all. So don't try and protect the future of the English language. If that was possible, we'd be conjugating regular verbs in the present tense other than the 3rd person singular, I'm sure.

if he wanted more sushi, shouldn't he be going to Japan instead of Thailand? if he wanted the 10 year old prostitutes, though, then Thailand might be the better option.

true, but Thailand is on the lookout ever since the Gary Glitter incident...

I'm confident that his doctor advised him to take long plane rides to exotic destinations as an advanced medicinal approach to reducing mercury in the blood. First class seat (presumably) and several martinis, and he'll be a new man.

WinSton:

u must ignore yankEEfan and Lizzy, they have not got nothin better to do than critike message board threads for grammer Violations -- responding to them inflates their sense of self importance. So - here I am with a B.A. in English and a Juris Doctorate, and I will use any grammar and punctuation and spelling I please on this board. I spend my working hours dotting all the i's and crossing all the t's.

Didn't Winston3 state at one time that he was an English major and was hoping to teach high school? THIS, gentle readers, is one of the people who will be grading English Regents Exams in NYS and preparing his classes to take their SAT exams!

Perish the thought!

So he claims. Maybe he played one in a community theater in "Bankok"!
