datlowen, returned from the bar exam wars and scanning headlines on his Droid: You know what case I don't care about?
me, poking at my laptop: Ablative?

He was actually talking about the Blagojevich case. But what do you want from me?, I'm a linguist and when you talk about 'case' (especially these days) that's the first place my mind goes.

I care about the ablative!

He says of course you do!, and that's fine. He cares about all the cases Czech has, which is a set that happens not to include the ablative. :-)
