Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Is Nate Silver a witch?

Dag, I read that as "Is Nate Silver a SWITCH?" and I thought, "Whoa* there; that's pretty dang personal!"

*Relatedly, when did people start spelling "whoa" as "woah"? It drives me batshit insane. Spell your slangy words right people!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Relatedly, when did people start spelling "whoa" as "woah"?

All I know is they didn't fucking ask me.

RIGHT?!?

...I am perhaps a little over-caffeinated and ready to stab both our always-crashing server AND my boss.

But my point still stands: "whoa," not "woah." There is no red squiggly line under "whoa," but there damn sure is one under "woah." OBEY THE RED SQUIGGLY LINE.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I spell it whoah.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Woa?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I bet it's confusion with "yeah" but I so agree.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

My brother spells "My love is like wo" like "My love is, like, whatever".

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

People can't spell yeah either. I keep seeing yah.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

We've had this conversation before. I maintain that "woah" is how Keanu says it, and therefore it is a perfectly cromulent spelling.
