To answer your question: No, and I've been happily married for decades now! But if my marriage was somehow like the BYU-Utah rivalry, and my wife played the role of the University of Utah, I seriously doubt we would still be married.

You forgot the verb “to be” in your sentence. Verbs are vital in most languages.

I verbed toned. Verbing weirds language.

Removing verbs makes you sound like a Neanderthal and degrades civilized society

I don't hate Utah. I see them with clear eyes, and I want BYU to beat them!
