What I don’t understand is why so many people start using the object form of a pronoun as a subject the minute there is an “and”. “Me and her went to the store.”
(I know this is the opposite of the pretentious overcompensation of using “I” as an object you’re likely to see in a corporate meeting. But why?)
It’s fine is used properly, but management tends to use it to mean “magically gooder.”
I always want to do things by email instead of a meeting, but have to admit the meeting is often necessary. Of course it wouldn’t be if people could actually read and comprehend a detailed email and if they could also actually communicate information into writing without expecting you to be their minds enough to make sense of the incomplete vague phases they hurriedly type.
I wouldn’t actually mind “circle back” if it wasn’t just used as cover to kick the can down the road.
I don’t really know what’s out there, but FWIW, I’d point out that there is nothing functional about the coupling between the pendulum and the clock in such a movement, so if you could find a separate “pendulum swinger” you could perhaps use that with a regular DST capable movement.
