Aaaaand my mom just made me cry. She sent me a Valentines card and in it was a huge check for "cars,cats, saving."
Awwww. Your mom is the bestest!
Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

Awww, yay sarameg's mom. And yay crown being over. I'm highly amused that your post started with a 3, right after Amy's thing. Hee. (Obvi, posting is not formal writing. Still funny)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It's snowing pretty hard here. We're supposed to get about four inches by tonight. Still, that's nowhere near the 2" per hour that the northeast is supposed to get tomorrow.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am sorry so many of you are getting winter storm crazy. We are having gorgeous weather. You all can remind me of this when we are having double digit days of triple digit temps this summer.
Still, people could grab a last minute flight out tomorrow and visit for the weekend.

I can't believe it's snowing hard in Chicago and it's 60 degrees and sunny here (Casper just changed into shorts and flip flops). We are only 4 hours from Chicago!

We were getting big giant snowflakes here for a while. (And we're not even supposed to be getting the worst of the storm.)

I wish the east coast the day we had. It dumped overnight, was icy and icky in the morning, and then 75% melted by 1pm.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Now waiting for the numb to wear off such that my lips work.
On the internet no one can tell if your lips are moving.
Once at work I wrote a word down and handed it to one of our Indian consultant developers to read to me. He rolled his eyes at me and said "determine." So he knew what my angle was. I am really curious what it is about that word that makes people who have general all around good English speaking accents, and this word so often ends in MY-ne being spoken by someone from the subcontinent. Said co-worker was not able to explain why, but he did admit to having paid extra attention to say it "right".
I'm always curious about tracing back accent and grammar and vocab errors and what they might be showing of the languages the speaker is more fluent is. For instance, I will always know that hair is "les cheveux" (and not the singular le) because Marc would always tell his giirlfriend her hairs looked good.
The reason it all came to mind was because someone on the concall totally stressed their sentence "And this is the point at which WE [pause] find the answer" What is that an example of? Is he used to peaking (rising pitch as well as the raised volume and dramatic pause) in the middle of a sentence? After a pronoun? Before the verb?
I DON'T KNOW.
