Clearly, ita sharpens her scissors more often than I do. Okay, yes, very awkwardly-shaped knives with knuckle protectors on the not-business end.
So your'e saying that if you cut a pair of pants in half, you don't get a pant? What if you use half of a scissors to cut the pants in half?
Good luck trying to cut anything in half with half a pair of scissors. But aside from that, you have hit on one of my favorite dislikes in fashion -- the word "pant". Nobody wears a pant. They may wear pants, or trousers, or panties or knickers or underpants or britches, but all of these items are plural. They just are. A garment that covers your butt and has two leg holes always takes the plural.
(And I think fashionistas know it, because they don't go correcting other people when they
do
use the plural, but it
sounds stupid.
)

You do use yours to cut, right? All of my scissors are sharper than my table knives.

Diaper?
If I've learned anything from Florida, it's that Mother Nature enjoys repeat performances lately.
It's gorgeous and (gasp!) warm in Colorado today. I actually went outside without a coat during the early morning hours AIWFG!
Due to a leak that is apparently causing the bathroom ceiling in the apt below to crumble, they are currently tearing out my bedroom wall to try to locate the problem.
Ugh! Poor brenda!

I don't think we're buying the same kind of scissors.

But who says it? People will say
pant leg,
but do some people seriously say
pant?
Oh, or wait--is it that the plural is your dislike?
I have heard Clinton and Stacy on WNTW say, "This is a fabulous trouser" or "Look for a pant with a wider leg."
All of my scissors are sharper than my table knives.
I have a pair of fabric scissors that are very sharp, but most of my scissors get their cutting action from the leverage of blade-on-blade, rather than from the sharpness of the blades. So, more like Tragically Excessive Tongs than Knives Meet Cute.

Fine. Destroy my lovely rant.
sniff.
It's still true in the main.
Despite the fact today was the second day in a row I am out and about in something other than a winter coat (my "spring" raincoat).
My spring coat is my winter coat sans lining, gloves and hat (unless it's raining, in which case the hat stays). I haven't removed the lining yet, though I did wear it open and without gloves yesterday.

Ack, brenda!
Cindy-
I see a lot of signs in say, The Limited, that say "Our New Blah-de-Blah Pant."
I don't think we're buying the same kind of scissors.
Or maybe not the same sort of table knives. Either way, after testing with the pair of craft scissors at my desk, it'd take less pressure to cut myself with one blade (don't forget the pointy tip) than it would with a table knife.
