As to my favorites:
Cilantro: unknown
Olives: of the yuck
Muffeletta: more than likely of the yuck due to above issues with olives
Serial comma: Yes, yes, and yes
Two spaces with a sentence break: yes
Most used punctuation: Double dashes, which I have to restrain myself from using twice in a paragraph, not always successfully.

"watch out for oncoming s".
For those that remember , before Firefox , the magical browser, my post were full of spelling errors. I say thanks to spell check everyday
Heh. I probably should de-lurk, at this point. But I don't even remember a lot of my own history with this board, only that it started when I was a teenager and has dramatically affected the course of my life in so very many ways.
