Is that the name has not been changed?

are we missing a "the reason"? or a why?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I guess not...I was just wondering since the term "colored" has negative connotations.

Aimee, I think you missed a question word in your question, and that's what Vortex meant. Did you mean to ask something along the lines of: Is that [the reason or why] the name has not been changed?

(That is, the wording of your question was "Is that the name has not been changed?")

YES! Duh.

Hi, I'm Aimee and this is exactly the reason I am taking writing classes. Also an idiot.

Is that the reason WHY it has not been changed?

That's just stupid fingers, Aimee. I get them all the time. I know the difference between their/they're/there quite well, but my fingers go too fast, or something.

Also, when I'm editing, I tend to leave in/out words that make the whole new thing (which I think is so much better than my first attempt) make no sense at all.

Fortunately, most of you are all messed up on Fernet all the time.

I'll tell you what's messed up--the fact (which I just found out now) that even though there's a library not one mile from my apartment, my "home" library is actually the one three miles down the road. Oh, well, it just means that I have to get my official card first before I can go to the nearer one and be entered into their system.

Because books.

In semi-topical news, the job my DH just accepted is with the Oneida Indian Nation. (Upstate New York, for those playing along at home.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Did I mention yet another bigwig in the IT group resigned this week?

Hey, go get his monitor!

ah, yes! thank you Cindy! I don't know if it's an homage so much that a name change would confuse people, I think.

Got it.
