Y'all know I have no idea what word(s) eliminated me from spelling bees. I was just happy to be eliminated early.

Firefox having spell check has improved my spelling. Made me just a bit more careful.

no words were corrected in this post.

hrm. I have to say I have no clue where to start looking for precedents in something like the eHarmony case, so I think the wisest thing for me to do is back out of the discussion now, before I say something that exposes me as a self-important boob-brain who talks out of her ass.

It's like that West Wing episode where Josh and CJ meet the upside down map people.

I am a total proponent of the upside down Peters Projection map! So, not actually related to the quote above.

Or that a lot is two separate words.

Pretty sure I only internalized that here. Then again, I have my own pet peeves. Don't we all.

Huh. The dictionary gives "alright" as "non-standard usage." I've seen it used that way plenty of times.

Yeah, I use alright a lot. Heh, and Firefox doesn't correct me on it.

Is this where a girl gets to gripe about Studio 60? I'm watching my tape now and don't any of these people know how the fuck to act during a live show? Harriet? Lawyer chick? And who the hell scheduled a deposition for Matt on the other coast for first thing Saturday morning?

Huh, I'd wondered about the spellcheck stuff in my Firefox browser -- too bad it doesn't offer you alternate spellings. It's pretty easy to turn off, though.

Just reading up about the TB Lawyer -- even if he was getting a medical opinion about his current communicativeness (which, hey, "mostly not" isn't a guarantee, right?), what a stupid thing to do. This isn't even remotely covered by "it's better to apologize than ask permission" as he'd already been explicitly forbidden. And lawyers can't be excused by claiming they didn't know about the law....

Why I love my local morning news:

Female anchor to sports guy: "In a pay-per-view death match, who would you take? Hogzilla or Loch Ness Monster?"

I'd bet Nutty against the both of them. Nutty teamed up with a cheetah in a cage match!

Speaking of cheetahs, or at least aspiring!cheetahs, Chumley is sleeping on the desk next to me. I think he may have missed me.

Let's let the legal system work, and give the guy a trial by jury of his peers. I'm guessing no one will be too thrilled with him.

Now the weather guy is doing the report with a squirming beagle on his lap. I know not why. But I approve!

They also discriminate against atheists, right?

No, they don't. They were founded on Christian principles or something, but you don't have to be religious at all to use eHarmony. My friends who met on there and got married are at best agnostic.
