Subject:Re: The Shakespeare virus spreads... From:Michael LaTorra <mikel -at- ACCUGRAPH -dot- COM> Date:Mon, 15 May 1995 10:43:11 MDT
With regard to Shakespeare's "the most unkindest cut" phrase,
Mark Levinson notes that a variant appears in another publication:
** On the other hand, I just saw a Land's End catalog in which
The Kindest Cut appears on the front cover, trademarked, in
reference to the company's swimsuits.
To which I respond: Yes, but the catalog does NOT say "the most
kindest cut". I guess Land's End wanted to allude to Shakespeare
without becoming ungrammatical.
Live long & prosper,
