Who is the justice court judge for Purvis?

Just had this message sent to me:

hi,
I really need to find out who the Lamar county Justice court judge is now.
You know, in Purvis. I just moved here and I'm trying to find this out for research on a case, thanks!

The sitting Lamar County Justice Court Judges are Bill Anderson, Carol Ann Bustin, and Larry McPhail. After the first of the year, McPhail will be replaced by John Kavanaugh. If you are looking at the Justice Court Judge that is elected from a district that includes Purvis, that's Judge Anderson. Judge anderson is also the City Court Judge for Purvis.

I believe the Judge that presides over your case solely depends on when you filed suit, not where you live in Lamar County. They are on a rotation, with Court convening every Tuesday I believe.

Correct. The judges are on a weekly rotation and when you are arrested or file suit with the clerk determines the judge that oversees it. There is nothing to stop one of the judges that is off rotation from carrying out the duties of the office as long as there's no conflict. Any of the judges can sign warrants, set bonds, etc at any time.

Although I answered the question Aaron asked in my initial response.

I didn't say you did not answered the question. The person was asking "who" the justice court judge is, so I just added that the "who" might depend on "when" you file suit.

I love it when someone tries to nitpick and uses a double negative and an improper verb tense.

By the way, I was incorrect earlier when I said Bill Anderson was ths sitting City Court Judge for Purvis. Judge Anderson was replaced by Tony Mozingo in that role recently.

In any case, I'm sure the person thanks you. :)

I was not "nitpicking" your answer to the question. In fact, I wasn't even talking to you. Rather, in the spirit of full disclosure, I was trying to explain to this person that the judge presiding over the case is controlled by the calendar rather than the location/district.

I don't come here to debate and point out improper language use, that is boring. Like most, I come here to type casually and expect the same from others, regardless of whether they use double negatives or use verbs in an improper manner.

Can you have a past plural verb like in this sentence. "I just pooteds."
The verb being poot + ed for past tense and the "s" for plurality.

It's shorter than sayin' "I just pooted alot." You can just say pooteds.

Who knows. I am sure one of the resident English professors will provide the answer. Pirate?

I've taught English off and on through the years, and I can't recall being asked a more, um, challenging question. It's right up there with the time in grad school when I subbed for a friend's class and was right in the middle of conjugating "to lay" when I remembered her class was mostly football players. Fortunately, I had my back to them when this lightbulb went on over my head, and was able to start talking about chickens before the snickering got too out of hand. Ah, teaching.

Sorry. I'm not an expert in the finer points of grammar. I just tend to notice glaringly illiterate statements. :smt118

"Poot" is a verb. You typically do not make verbs plural. Verbs that have an "s" added to them use the "s" as a marker of tense...not plurality.

So. While it might be less wordy, it is not technically correct. :-D

[Fish-Bait]

Then there are those verb nouns like "I got a case of the sh!ts." Then, "he sh!ts alot!"

Off topic.
