Hil, have the math grad students set up a Wiki for keeping track of their mutual job search? It's quite an improvement over the old days when you really didn't know what was happening unless you got an interview. Here is the Psychology Wiki for this year as an example:
I just googled and found one, but it doesn't look like there are enough people participating for it to really be useful yet.
Hola. I can has haircut. I was feeling all cute and sassy, until I went to therapy. Why do therapists have to be so damn *right* all of the time?
Pics to follow, nonetheless. It's more subtle than I had in mind but very pretty.
It might be my native language, but English confuses the hell out of me.
Glad you are recovering nicely, Burrell!
I'd accuse you of showing off, but you spelt synecdoche wrong.
Once again incompetence prevents me from being a show off.
That's okay, because no one likes a show off.
I'm immune to being annoyed by most grammatical issues because I correspond with physicians all day. Not big on the grammar are they. Yet I still get bugged by then/than as they are not the same word.
My grammar is not award winning, but when compared to what I read daily I feel like I haz mad skillz.
It's more of a spelling than a grammar thing, but I am bugged by the use of 'alright' instead of 'all right.'
What bugs me even more is that I seem to be on the losing side of a battle on this one.
If enough people do it wrong it becomes standard usage. This is not a concept I can embrace. And yet it appears to be the rule.

Oh my god. If I see "mute point" one more time, I am going to KILL whoever uses it. When did it become so popular, and why hasn't it been squashed like a bug?
Totally an example of enough people doing it wrong and making it standard usage. Feh.
I have different expectations for journalists or any other paid professional writer. It drives me batshit insane when I hear newsanchors using "laid" instead of "lay", etc.
Or "the people vacated the building". No, the building was vacated. If people are vacating, I do NOT want to hear or see it as that's toilet time!
Same thing with "had an impact" being incorrectly shortened to "impacted by". AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH!
