Yeah, we texted earlier. I am bummed to not get much time with her, but I will get her to her car safely. She's gonna be tired!
She didn't even touch her pumpkin. It's a freak with no face.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

We are very acronym-happy here.

I know that a word lover such as yourself would be interested to know it's an "acronym" when it actually spells a word.
(I love that "SOS" is considered a "backronym"!!)

Backronyms amuse me. I'm pretty sure most of our trial names are backronyms, in that they seem to take random letters from the protocol title just so they can make the word they want out of them.

I'm annoyed with words right now because I remember an hour lecture at UCLA on "sympathy" and "empathy".
The professor explicity taught that "empathy" was intellectual and learned (meaning, a person could be taught to care for others and see their plight; i.e., project themselves to "walk a mile in someone else's shoes") and that "sympathy" was specifically a feeling you could have for another due to having had a similar experience. One could sympathize with being laid off if one had been laid off as well (at some point). If one has not been laid off, and he felt compassion for another who had been, that would be considered empathy.
And the Merriam-Webster dictionary backs that up.
BUT, everyone from Bill Bryson (in his "Troublesome Words" book) to nearly everyone on the web says something else. It's maddening. Not looking for debate, here, really, since people posting about what they "*think* it means, rather than parsing dictionary definitions, is part of the problem with most of the blogs and lit sites out there.
