Buffallo Bill,

All I really want to know is what does this mean - "The nickname of the legislation has led to the term "Baker Act" as a transitive verb, and "Baker Acted" as an intransitive verb, for invoking the Act to force an individual's commitment."

Focus on the highlights. Remedial grammar lessons are welcome.

Thank GOD I'm off till October 8th. Welcome.

Love

PS - What do you know about Afghanistan? I'll take the money. It is worth the risk. The only thing is that my cat "Lou" come with me.

Dear Lamentations,

Well, the first part's easy enough:

Cop: Yeah, we Baker Acted the scumbag.

but for the second part, I don't know. Maybe what they meant was the passive voice:

Scumbag: I've been Baker Acted.

Who's "Buffallo Bill?"
