As far as I'm concerned, 'whom' is a word that was invented to make everyone sound like a butler.
I carry my iPod everywhere. My favorite group is the John Butler Trio, an Australian jam band. The lead singer and guitarist writes amazing lyrics.
I follow the teachings of Major General Smedley Darlington Butler, United States Marine Corps. He won two Congressional Medals of Honor, and he wrote the highly controversial antiwar book 'War is a Racket.'
I'd been dating my husband for about a year, and I'd already kissed George Clooney, Ashton Kutcher and Gerard Butler. Awesome year, right?
Sophistication might be described as the ability to cope gracefully with a situation involving the presence of a formidable menace to one's poise and prestige (such as the butler, or the man under the bed - but never the husband).
If I could be anyone, I'd choose the lead singer of Arcade Fire, Win Butler.
My family are from Liverpool, so I have some twang there - I have a Midlands accent, and I was raised about an hour north of London, so my voice is a mess. Although, to American ears, it sounds like the crisp language of a queen's butler.
I have these plants in my house that are dying, so having a robot butler to water them when I'm away would be pretty handy.
When I was starting to write, the great influence was T.S. Eliot and after that William Butler Yeats.
Octavia Butler was more interested in writing a good story than in worrying about where to slot it.
