Slay Ride

The latest round of student papers gave me a chance to use one of my favorite cut-and-paste comments.

The principal parts of this verb are: slay, slew, slain.

“Bob slays monsters. Joan slew monsters. Hey, all my monsters have been slain!”

Tenniel's illustration for Lewis Carroll's JABBERWOCKY
“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?“
