No, that's the way I wanted it; it doesn't need correction. :)

Frankly, it’s not really a curse

When Rhett Butler said, “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn,” – in “Gone with the Wind,” was he cussing?

Not really.

Yes, it was perceived as swearing at the time.

But the words are a corruption of a 19th century epithet: “I don’t give a tinker’s dam.”

Tinkers once roamed the countryside, going from farm to farm to repair holes in items such as pots and pans. The tinker would pour molten metal into the hole, using a small clay blob on the back side of the pot to hold the metal in place.

That blob was called a tinker’s dam, and had no value.

So saying “I don’t give a tinker’s dam became a popular way of expressing just how little a person cares about something.

And that’s exactly the idea what Rhett Butler was trying to get across to Scarlett O’Hara.

Not a direct quote anyway. I used "we", not "I" because I was referring to the courts' opinion. :)

It was a paraphrase, not a misspelling (which you did misspell).

It did not require a citation. Check the law.

Please see the APA manual for necessity of citation with paraphrase.

Now we actually have "ad hominem attack"

Unless of course you were referring to yourself. :roll:
