We had an in-depth discussion about how the period always goes inside the quotation marks. It's one of the things that bugs Sally."

I thought you were commenting on the grammar. "You said" instead of "you say."

[Phil]

"They call" doesn't seem to go with "you said." Dunno. Engrish is odd.

Of course I sent in my census form, but a few weeks later a second census worker came with a much longer, extremely invasive questionnaire (how many working toilets do you have, how long is your commute, I swear there was something on there about pregnancies and live births) which I was not going to answer. They didn't even get my address right, but it kept ending up in my mailbox anyway, addressed to Resident. I successfully evaded this woman every time she came to my door.

Stacia, not from me . . . I was just agreeing with you! :)

Go on, you know you want to!!!

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Red pen is really hard to clean off your computer screen.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

I carz.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

I can't do it anymore. I like real words.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

I hate dislike that mistakes are never visible to me until I hit "post."

It's amazing how many times I edit in a day.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

See? I had to edit to cross out "hate!"

Lemurs. They're so cute an knowing, with their tails and their fingers and their "oh, we could've been the dominant species but it just looked like soooo much work..." and the way they always pretend they haven't just been trolling chat rooms to annoy people, and their network of subterranean tunnels.

It also bugs me that I get my medication confused with jelly beans.

[Kevin]

i am guessing my lower case life really bugs bun

And they do like to move it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uhqOV...

Lemurs rock - leave Lemurs alone!

As for things that annoy me that shouldn't. Being told that because I'm an English teacher I should know everything about the English language, every single author that's ever existed, read every single book and write grammatically correctly at every available opportunity.

Other than that - I agree with the opening post about 'awesome' - Eddie Izzard does a great sketch about that very matter.

[Félix]

Polstar -- that sentence structure! (Kidding)

[Polstar]

get the red pen out - I'm ready!

[Sarah]

I have mine too.

[Kevin]

you guys must have a hey-day with my comments :)

[Sally, la reina]

Kevin, you are my heydashday.

[Kevin]

[hmmmm. is that a good or bad thing? wonder if i can play that word in scrabble...:]

[Sarah]

In its heydashday, the city of Atlantis was a sight to behold.

[Cynthia]

Are the heydashdays related to the Kardashians?

[Sarah]

I think they're a cross between a Kardashian and a Dachshund. Or is that a Kardachsian?

[Sally, la reina]

WIENER DOGS RULE!

[Cynthia]

Sarah is on fire today.

[Sarah]

Practically. It's about 100 degrees out. At least I did all my baking yesterday, so we'll just call this a simmer.

[Cynthia]

On the radio they were talking about heat indices (in-deh-CEES) and I realized that was the plural of heat index. THE HEAT Indices for the Next THREE days are supposed to be 110 or something. Ugh.

[[deleted user]]

Feel free to keep that weather and not send it east :-)

The Kardashians SHOULD bug me, but holy hell, Kim is pretty.

[[deleted user]]

I don't get why people like the Kardashians. I would rather watch grass grow.

[Félix]

Same here.

[Cynthia]

I don't think they're pretty. Beauty is skin deep but ugly is inside and out.

[Félix]

To da bone.

My wife and daughter watch them. I just walk by and ask "what have they done that resulted in a show?" Baffling to me.

[Kevin]

i think they are hot.

There are plenty of hot women in the world, I just can't figure out what makes them special.

[Jonathan]

It's a very strange phenomenon. I honestly don't understand half the things that I see on TV anymore--the reality shows, etc.--totally baffling. It kind of makes grumpy because I feel out of touch.

[[deleted user]]

I would rather stay out of touch.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

I think that's why, back when I still had cable, I was mainly watching just Jeopardy and news.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

It always bugs me to see Maureen Dowd on the top 10 most emailed list at the NYT. David Brooks too, but MoDo more.

[Jonathan]

Maureen Dowd can be okay--if you happen to think that every male elected official from the Democratic Party is basically a big sissy who ought to man up and start acting more like...Maureen Dowd.

Heh...almost spit out my iced tea when I read that one...couldn't agree more.

[Phil]

They are sissies. And it was very hard to type "sissies" just then, as my fingers very much wanted to start the word with the letters "pu."

[Jonathan]

I think it must be French.

[Heidi]

Looks Italian to me...

[Félix]

For some odd reason, this comes to mind for me:

[Heidi]

St. Francis of Pusissie

That might make a great porn title!
