Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm pretty sure the U is for standard English spelling.
Well, that's just silly. None of those words start with "U".
My parents are kinda bothered that I seem to able to make ends meet working only part-time as a consultant. I wanted to tell them that there has been a paradigm shift and to think outside the box so that we can actalize the potential of the situation and proactively solution the situation.
msbelle, ha ha ha. You've obviously been playing corporate-speak BINGO!

Fall fell here, for sure. I could have actually used gloves today! Or maybe fingerless ones. Something. A sassy scarf, perhaps.
(Sidenote: queer != the same thing in all locales, so internationalization may have something to do with its fall from favor as a catch-all. It's apparently pretty specific to 100% homosexuals in some areas. I had to clear up a LOT of confusion on my flist because of that.)
I think it's about time for QUILTBAG.
There was a thing on the Times website (not sure if it was in the actual paper) recently about STEM, for science-technology-engineering-math, as used in education, and how it's stupid. But honestly, it's so much better than SMET, which is what they started with....
