Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

the locals insist that they are not actually hillbillies but are "hilljacks." The distinction evades me.

According to my cousin, a self-identified hillbilly, "hilljacks" are a step below on the rung.

Because books.

The Duck Dynasty folks seem to be enjoying themselves, anyway. All the way to the bank, one assumes.

OoooooOOOOH! This explains the crazy police presence when I came out of the Y yesterday, just before 7: [link] I thought it was a little over the top for a car being broken into. 5 cop cars, several plainclothes, people talking intently on phones. And now I know the one non-cryer in that swim class has a parent who is a cop.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think I managed to break my little toe again

Man, I hope this is because of mad sex.

I woke up because I had a dream of my old boss yelling at me--at all of us. That we had to go out to the bar for drinks because work had been hell. I think it was the surprise that jerked me into wakefulness.

No one here posts with random capital letters. Why is that? Is it because this is conversational and random caps are only for business copy? Have we self-selected, unconsciously weeding out the random cappers? Have people learnt by reading, before they even post, where capital letters are best suited?

Basically, I'm epically frustrated with correcting copy over and over for capital letters out of nowhere. It's not something I can tie to a particular first language--people whose first language is English need correcting here too. WHAT IS THE WHaT?

Winnie the Pooh case, where you Capitalize all the Important words. Incredibly hard to stamp out.

I'm horrible about Capitalizing the Important words.

I work with a couple writers who do that. "And when the children are old enough for School, be sure to take them to the Doctor for a checkup first." NO.
