I think y'all just didn't know what the word meant.

Eh. I think that, once it's in Merriam-Webster, it doesn't really count as "wrong" anymore.

hopefully we can all agree that usage ultimately defines a word.

Isn't that, actually, the main point of contention in the prescriptivists-vs.-descriptivists debate?

If 10,000 people think the word "coccyx" means "penis bone", it still doesn't.

I suppose at some point the new definition might become acceptable, but I'm not sure when that point would be. And after that point, I'd still be going around informing everyone talking about their penis bones of what it really means. I'm annoying and stubborn that way.

Heh - case in point. (hopefully)

Zen, there are some gulten free recipes in the new issue of Vegetarian Times. Nothing for real bread though.

You may want to look around at vegetarian/vegan websites to see if there are any recommendations for gluten free bread.

I fucked up my money already this month. And it's only the 10th! My credit card payment is going to be a few days late and I pray that stuff happens so my direct deposit goes through on Wednesday instead of Tuesday.

Luckily I'm well stocked on food so I'll just be eating "creative" meals for the next few days and I have enough money for gas to last me through until I get paid.

I hate that I do this, and I waste money on stupid stuff like snacks at work.

OMG, learned a new game last night. *LOVED IT* Apparently it's one of the oldest known board games documented. Senet. I lost, but still liked it. Very topsy turvey game play. Much fun!

Now, it being Sunday, and first day off all week, I am loafing something fierce. Not wanting to go grocery shopping, despite needing it. O ya, and why, on a day I can sleep in, does my body suddenly not understand the concept of sleeping the day away and wake up at 9am!?!?

Annabel stories of the day:

She pronounces "astronaut" as "nastronut."

When I went to pick her up from the 3's and 4's class after church, the teacher told me that she'd been playing with two of the little boys, and that she thought Annabel was the mommy. A high school kid who'd been helping out said, "No, actually, I was listening to them. Annabel was the queen."

Heh - case in point. (hopefully)

::snerk:: (I always misuse "hopefully." Always. But at least I'm consistent.)

Hopefully. Interestingly! It's wrong, and yet - there's nothing else that quite gets the job done. It is interesting that... it's four words instead of one! and It is hoped that..? Even worse. nnngggghhh illogical!

I can haz oxycodone? Yes!
