“(olur task is to interpret the words used by the legislature, not to correct or revise them.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“We granted certiorari on two issues: whether section 77-18-l(10)(a)(i) creates a thirty-six-month limitation for a term of probation as to any felony conviction; and whether terms of probation for multiple convictions may be imposed consecutively. Because we conclude that the Legislature has not limited terms of probation to any particular time period, we need not and do not reach the second issue.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“'When interpreting a statute, we must generally presume the legislature used each term thoughtfully. We therefore strive to give appropriate meaning to each term.... When the words are clear, ... we will interpret them as written, leaving to the legislature the task of making corrections when warranted.”
