Oh... my, Tep.
Thanks for the feedback y'all!
I'm not evil again. Why does everyone think that?

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I remember when you could tell by looking at someone -- if they were obviously foreign -- that they wouldn't speak good English. Now you can never tell.

That's right up there with the "You can't be Cuban, your eyes are green and your skin is fair and.. and... you don't speak with an accent," comments I still get on occasion

Right? If I didn't need to keep my job, I would have said something like, "I remember when you could tell by looking at someone if they were an ignorant bigot. But now, you never can tell -- they even show up in your workplace."

Man, I *suck* in the role of "Son's Girlfriend."
Uh. No. Remember who you're talking to? The girl who totally has crazy unrealistic expectations of herself?

Here's one for the annals of ignorance: I overheard incompetent!boss this morning telling another co-worker that he was surprised to find out that one of our vendors was Asian, because "She speaks English as good as any of us!"
This is a slightly different kind of bone ignorance, but years ago my mother was at the registrar's office at a local college applying for admission and the clerk's comment when she noticed her Canadian citizenship was "oh, you speak English so well!"

When I used to work for an ESL program at my university, we were required to test the English Speaking abilities of everyone with a student visa. Which included Canadians and people from Great Britain. It was very strange.

I'm going to post a Craigslist ad offering to pay you to say this and then wait for Scola to link to it.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Teppy, if I had the money, I'd offer you a year's pay to say that. The stupid, it burns.
I need to do battle with the mountain of laundry that has accumulated and yet somehow get to the gym today.
