Says?

You'd think that one thing you'd learn in journalism school is how to use tenses in a sentence.

"Paul Neuman says..."

Paul Neuman be dead.  Paul Neuman SAID.

He not be sayin' nothin' no more.

    He'd probably have spelled his name correctly too. With a "w", not a "u". Just saying.

    I always thought he was related to Alfred E.

    Another thing that journalists don't seem to comprehend is the difference between "less" and "fewer".

    Is it wrong that I immediately assume rampant idiocy in the entire story whenever I hear something like "less people"?
