Love of the language

[classic1st]

One of the benefits of an unconjugated language is the ability to use the lack of distinction between the passive and active voices to create an air of ambiguity.

Case in point, a lyric from the song I'm listening to now: "I wish I would never hurt again." I like that it's unclear whether the intent is to never be hurt again, or to never hurt another.

I'm sure Lynne Truss understands.
