Quote from Yannis:

Wrt Modern English

A noted linguistics professor from Oxford, visiting Harvard for a semester, was giving his inaugural lecture one day in early September in front of most Harvard top brass and his incoming class.

'In our language', he said in deep aristocratic English accent, 'A double negative forms a positive. In some languages, though, such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative. However, there is NO language wherein a double positive can form a negative!'

A rudely loud voice from the back of the room piped up: 'Yeah, right...' !!!

Love is blind.

Marriage is an institution.

So marriage is an institution for the blind. ;)
 
Quote from Yannis:

You mean "its various forms" right? :)

I could be wrong but I think there should be an apostrophe between the s and the t. Not that many would notice anyway. So we have the various forms of it.
It's saddle is literally the saddle of it.
