Timelies all!
Never developed a taste for coffee.(Or anything coffee-flavored. Just don't like it.) My usual source for caffeine is cold and carbonated most of the time. Sometimes cold and not carbonated, and once in a while it's hot tea. During the week I usually drink the equivalent of a 12 ounce can. (On the weekends, a little more) Don't think I'm addicted to the caffeine, since I've gone off caffeine for a few days and not noticed any side effects.
Never like coffee or caffeinated teas. Like Sheryl my caffeine source was carbonated beverages. Until my stomach could not longer take anything with phosphoric acid. But still addicted to caffeine. So now I take caffeine pills twice a day.
Ouise, simon is so cute!!!
Hivemind proofreading question.
Our proofreading department has decided that it's okay to say "U.S. figures", or "U.S. companies", but that if you are saying "in the U.S., X and Y will happen", you need to spell out United States, instead of using the initials, even in a document summarizing another report.
Does this make sense to people?
If my addiction were just the caffeine I could switch to coffee with little problem. But I love the acid bite of diet Coke, even though I know what it's doing to the calcium in my bones. Damn the man.
Yeah, I liked the bite too, but the effect was a little more immediate than bones. I do plain seltzer with a little lemon juice, which gives me some bite, but leaves my stomach alone. (Very little lemon juice.)
None.

Maybe they have a different rule for U.S. as an adjective than as a proper noun?
And the megasharks.
That is a big fucking shark.

That's what it looks like, but I haven't heard that rule before.
