Always wondered how a dinosaur managed to write a grammar book, but I guess that's why they went extinct: too much of the old nose (beak? Snout?) in books so they didn't see the asteroid coming.
I can just see it now:
"There's a huge fiery rock coming towards us!"
"Well now: you could have said, a stone on fire, a burning chunk of earth, an... asteroid? Yes, an aster- oh dear! No volume 2 then!"
