Looks like pillory is a noun, rather than a verb. Would have better to say subject the recipient to the pillory. Just an observation. This is far from past plu perfect, by the way.

All the best,

It is both a noun and a verb.

Lou used it correctly and should not be subject to such pillory.

I'm afraid not. As a verb, it would have to be pilloried, or pillorying. Pillory is only a noun.

If you say so. But if it's all the same to you, I'll trust Merriam-Webster, Oxford and Miss Joy, my smokin' hot high school English teacher.

I do say so. No hard feelings, but some here should refer to this thing called the dictionary. I suspect very few here have, or have appreciated the encyclopedia.

Anyhow, it's but a mute point, a particle of sagacity. It reminds me of the old story of a Texas guy going to Harvard. The Texas guy asks a guy, "Hey, can you tell me where the library is at?"

The Harvard student replies, "Sir, this is Harvard. We do not end a sentence with a preposition."

The Texas guy replies, "OK, can you tell me where the library is at, asshole?"

I had smokin' hot high school teachers too. Fortunately one was the French teacher, and I spoke French well. The other was Shakespeare. Hotter, but harder to please...

All the best, for correct grammar,

Isn't Merriam Webster a dictionary? I am not an English major, but having stayed at a holiday inn last night, and reading the definition in a couple of dictonaries right now, in my uneducated opinion Jimmy is clearly right.

I enjoy it when people are argumentative about English, then get MUTE POINT wrong...Moot point is the phrase you are looking for. For every finger you point, 4 are pointing back...

Yes, Merriam Webster is a dictionary.

Since everyone likes to correct everybody else in the name of grammar,

Its MOOT point, not mute point. :thumbup:

I know. I intentionally used mute as a bad pun, because that's been the misuse all along. Nice try.

Some modern uses, yes. But not how it was initially used in this thread.

C is gnashing his teeth, wondering how he can strike...
