but I have no valid reason for doing so other than being a pretentious little Anglophile, evidently.
Which is really reason enough for me.
I'm just trying to tell you that we have nothing in common besides both of us liking your penis.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's weird. I will use "theater" when I am going to see a movie but "theatre" when I am going to see a performance.
Do you pronounce it "thee-ah-tah" in that case?
Also, there was a whole thing on mustache v. mustaches or moustaches on A Way With Words recently.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just caught the CE in a mistake and kind of felt slightly victorious.
The Chris Evans? The Christopher Eccleston? Because catching either of them would be the sort of day I wish you.
Also, me.
I'm not sure why my accent is so much more fragile than my spelling. I don't know if traveler will ever look right (and mustache is an abomination, and not in the cute way), but I hate when I hear how I talk. I haven't sounded like me in a while, but I miss it.
Although sometimes people pop their Ts around me, and it makes me paranoid. Except, of course, in my name. But every now and again an American will hit all those Ts in a sentence and look at me like it was my fault and I have no idea how to react.

Because books.
CE = the copy editor
I'd like to catch the Chris Evans in a mistake or any way. Also Robert Downey Jr. who was so adorable on Letterman last night, he made me squeal.

I don't tell the job people about the two weeks I'll need off in June until they offer me the job, right?

Very right, Jesse.

OK, good. And of course I meant "unless." UNLESS they offer me the job.

I had a lot of Canadian spellings from my parents that lasted until Firefox got the built-in spell check and my hate of the red squiggles beat them out of me.
Well, okay. Beat the autobackspace when doubling into me.

I thought the first syllable of mustache rhymed with muss. That's how everyone I know has said it. Or is that the Appalachian in me? (which is pronounced Appa-lay-chin, not Appa-lat-chin, I grew up there, I can say)

I always thought it was Appa-lay-chin, but then I saw a few documentaries on TV (one on PBS, one on the History Channel) that pronounced it Appa-lat-chin. So now I'm confused.
