I just threw up in my mouth a little.
And yet... still wrong on thing vs. think.

I've always heard "think" and "pike."
I have no real opinion about cilantro, but it does not taste like soap to me.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Kate, that house is adorable! Great price, and "corner lot, dead end street" couldn't be better either.

When you leave grammar, you've gone to the dark side.
Is there something wrong with the dark side? I'm pretty sure I've been there this whole time.
Please tell me no one here says "for all intensive purposes."

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I did notice "Seperate laundry/office," so I feel you are very strong for pursuing it anyway.
Heh, I noticed that too. (Also, that note is kind of strange to begin with. There's a washer/dryer hookup in the back hall/mudroom, but no way it could also be an office!)
Thanks, all! We're pretty excited about it. We've been thinking we'd have to compromise on either size, location, or price, but this place scores decently well on all three. We can walk to the grocery store and the fancy burger place!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The two most important food places, IMO!

"Have a think" is a perfectly cromulent UK turn of phrase. Like "have a drink" or "have a wank."
you are still very cute, wrongheadedly cute.
Uh huh. And Jesus hit his head on an eggcorn while riding a dinosaur. Look, I say "I'm-unna go to the store" but I know that what I'm really saying is "I'm going to the store." It's phonetics, yo.
And Hec, don't even front like you are always a populist descriptivist, or I will rehash an old semantic argument and we will ALL REGRET IT.
I've got the OED, Cosby, Word Detective, and books since the 19th century on my side. Y'all have Rob Halford and many people on the internet who also probably say "LOLOLOL" with no trace of irony.
(I'm not really this het up. But I am really going to bed. Swears.)
Kate! House! How fabulous!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't know who Halford is, and I don't' care if you tell me, I will still not know.
Hec, feel free to ignore fleas ngram research--I however, do recognise relative authority, and also PEOPLE WHO MADE A MISTAKE THEY REFUSE TO CORRECT. That's not actually a good reason for anything much beyond "apron". I mean, there's still time to get back on course--you don't have to go down with the ship--you can be saved. COME WITH ME IF YOU WANT TO LIVE.
Huh. For some reason that Rolo ad made me think of foreskins. I don't know if that's on me or that's on them.
