it's always possible. for all my raging about grammar, you'd laugh if you heard me talk on a typical day. i'm one of those people who routinely screw up syntax, word order and just mumble in general on some days. that's when i'm around my friends though and talking for the sake of talking.

get me drunk and it's all over. you know how some people get blurred vision when they're drunk? i lose my hearing, so i have no idea what's going on half that time

does anyone know the difference between a podium and a lectern?

Don't worry, I'll get you nice and lushy. Then we'll have all sorts of fun bastardizing. Podium is the raised platform ... lectern is the thing you stand behind. Right?

A podium is a dais for a conductor of an orchestra or a speaker. A lectern is the raised stand on which a book can be placed to read from, i.e. a bible in a church.
