LawTalkers - Fashion Board--Penske . . . forever!

Hmmm. So women who enter the world of working men and do well, tend to start acting like...men?

Yes, I'm being sexist here. I'm doing it tongue in cheek.

I guess you should have followed the winery chick after all, Ollie.

You got me. Jealousy. If only I was a struggling solo with a bad heart, instead of running Hood to Coast while trying to figure out how to spend my next distribution. Sighhhhhhh.

They enter

The verb follows the subject, not the object.

No. His proposed sentence is in the subjunctive mood. "We write to request that the client enter..."

It's unclear whether the second "stipulate" is to be done by "your client" or by "we" (as fringey suggested). Either way, it's "stipulate."

2. I once had a paralegal who argued an obscure rule of grammar with me. We discussed it and I dismissed his PoV. A few weeks later he sent me a memo documenting that he was correct.

Shortly thereafter he was fired.

How were his sushi recommendations?

b) We write to request that your client enter into certain stipulations . . . and stipulate to the following

Please no wise-ass comments -- looking for a serious answer here.

Well, b sounds better to me, but looking at it, the subject of "enter" is "client," suggesting that the singular "enters" and "stipulates" would be correct. But I am not the resident grammarian.

CoRRECT.

Isn't str8 Canadian? Doesn't he know French? English subjunctive is the infinitive, and is equivalent to romance-language subjunctive.

Yeah, but I've got good hair and legs, and I-bankers love me. They wear shirts with French cuffs, you know.
