About Me

I started this blog as a way of building an online community of current and past Ivy Tech paralegal students, as well as letting people interested in our program know what we're up to. This blog is not sponsored by Ivy Tech. No way, no how.

My name is Linda Kampe, and I'm the program chair of Paralegal Studies in Lafayette, Indiana. My office is in Ivy Hall 1166. Stop by and chat. For best results, make an appointment, so I know to expect you. And if you bring your own cup, I'll make you tea. Because hey, we're not animals.

Debatable Grammar--Justice Kagan Jumps In. Way.

So, is way an adverb? As in, that Contracts exam was way hard.

I would have said no, but you know how I hate to contradict the Supreme Court. Okay, I don't exactly hate it, but I avoid it. Because it seems like a way bad idea.

And so I will apparently have to adjust my questionable grammar tolerance. Justice Kagan (my personal favorite) used way as an adverb in a recent opinion. And I'm not the only attorney who is intrigued....

Feel free to comment--but all comments will be reviewed by me before they get posted. I will not post anything scurrilous about Ivy Tech students, faculty, or staff, or about members of the local community. Truth is not a defense. This just isn't going to be that kind of blog.
