Fingernails
Transcript
As Shouty watches TV, he thinks to himself: “I gotta remember to cut my nails.” In bed, he thinks to himself: “Gotta cut my nails.” At work, a co-worker is viewing his monitor with him and says, “Which item are you looking at?” Beads of sweat come down Shouty’s face. Shouty points to the item on the monitor, his long fingernail making the noise “clink” when it hits the screen.
Nose Blowing
Transcript
Shouty: “I’m lucky….I rarely have to blow my nose.”
Leonard: “The body produces 1.5 quarts of mucus a day, but that doesn’t mean it all gets blown.”
Shouty: “What do you mean?”
Leonard: “Well, yours could be going through the back…like post nasal drip.”
Shouty looks disgusted.

Grammar Tips
Transcript
Farther v. Further
“I don’t know if I can walk any farther.”
“Let’s take the argument a step further.”
When you’re talking about distance, use farther (think far away). For everything else, use further. [Shouty says, “Cool!”]
Less v. Fewer
“There is less grass.”
“There are fewer blades of grass.”
“Less stuff.”
“10 items or fewer.”
If you cannot count it, use less. If you can count it (1 dog, 2 dogs), use fewer. [Shouty looks contemplative and says, “Hmmm…Interesting”]
Me v. I
“He paid Kim and me.”
“Kim and I ate.”
Remove the other person to know whether to use I or me: He paid me / I ate.
“Jim is older than I.”
Finish the sentence to see that you use I instead of me: “Jim is older than I am.” [Shouty’s mind is blown.]
