”mih” staves ”my”
The ”I” is not violent but armed with a dangerous weapon and
that weapon is his human breath.
The ”I”s offence is not speaking English, correctly. He
makes a virtueof not speaking correctly, and making a muggery of the Queens
English.
The ”I” is a bad influence on the English snobbish perfectionism.
He is threatening the English language, by not being grammaticly correct in his
writing and speaking.He is not violent physically, but in his way of speaking
the words.
