Ok. I'm making homemade pizza tonight -- good garlicky sauce with the actually-delicious vegan mozzarella, and homemade crust from my bread machine.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
LeN, I don't know! I will have to find out.
I have been nearly insensible with pain all day. Seeing double, light-headed, the whole nine yards. I'm hoping it will reach a point where I'm acclimated. Like, Saturday? That would be good. Because my pain specialist appointment is 2 weeks away, and my migraine specialist appointment is a month from now.

You guys, I am so bored. It's like I've run out of brain for the week by Thursday evening.

Oh my, ita. Good luck making it through. Also, Garner's Modern American Usage?

ita,
so, what purpose do you need to use a book that is not Strunk & White?

Hey, Boston people -- will I need a winter jacket up there this weekend, or will I be OK with a lined corduroy one?

Thanks Lee, Jesse.
LeN, I was looking for a more modern opinion on the same topic, or at least just a different take on grammar and usage of modern English.
