I should add that I have never heard them say raw, beast, or garb
I haven't heard these either. Tight, yes. And other things I can't think of at the moment.
Grammar fans should enjoy the training experience I had Friday. I had a training session with one of my doctors for writing notes. I had already noticed that his notes were much more coherent than many of his colleagues when he picked out a single 'were' and declared that he had to change it to 'are' to match the tense of the rest of the note. I commented that his notes were grammatically superior to many I had seen and he took pride in telling me of starting out in an English major before medical school. I then mentioned that he was clearly a fan of the serial comma when he got excited and said it was essential for clarity. A most unusual conversation with a physician for me. They are usually casual to the extreme with the grammar.
Laura, we saw erinaceous today (and her husband) and I told her that you used Wordnik as your first dictionary stop. She was very pleased.
Wordnik is fun! I am doing a lot of writing for work and it helps my insecurity with word usage when I see the examples. Spell check takes care of the simple dictionary stuff. Wordnik reassures me that people really use that word that way.
Happy B-day, ChiKat! I only just realized I hadn't subbed to the new Bitches so I'm way behind.
Has anyone ever bought stuff from myshape.com? I kind of love the idea of it. It's a clothes shopping aggregator, from what I can tell, but you set up a fairly exhaustive profile with preferences and measurements, so what they show you in a search is profiled to what will fit and, hopefully, flatter. From what I've seen so far they seem to be hitting things well. It leans a little toward the pricy side but there's definitely a lot that's reasonable. They've got a big sale going on this weekend so I thought I'd mention.
Happy birthday ChiKat!
I spent 5 hours learning how to maintain my bike today. Fun, but then I was too tired to go for a ride, as I had half planned. Tomorrow morning, though, gonna check out the sweet action on my perfectly adjusted shifters.
You know what I hate?
I hate it when I act like an asshole for no good reason and then have to apologize for it.
I hate it a lot.
Hil! I missed your birthday. Happy belated birthday, and I hope it was grand!
Wordnik is on my toolbar. I love that tool.
It now costs $185, that's over 18 hours' wages, for me to see a doctor. And I have insurance.
