Oh, goody. Stormpocalypse just arrived.
Natter 53: We could just avoid making tortured puns
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Can I announce a random TOTAL HATE pet peeve?
"Say la vi." or "Ce la vie." Or whatever.
People, if you're going to use French, use it right. Do you want to give the cheese-eating surrender monkeys more excuses to sneer at us? C'est la vie.
It occurrs to me that maybe Cass' fondness of "candles" is just that its fire we will let her have.I also have a fireplace.
But the candles, as Toddson so accurately states, can smell good too. They multitask!

FIRE PRETTY!
I have a sixty-page document that I have to review for double-spacing after periods and use of serial commas.

Electronic, I hope? Do a global search for period-space-space and comma-space-and. The spacing can also be globally replaced by searching for ^w and replacing with a single space.
But surely Nutty knows "oeuvre", as in a body of work.
