Aw, that sounds so nice and Norman Rockwell-y!
You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends.

I am having intense deja vu overhearing my coworkers discussing our response to UPS/FedEx delays cause to high volume. I think they may have had this exact conversation last year. I know we had the same problem.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So, I feel like I'm seeing a lot of End of the Decade stuff and not any the-decade-actually-ends-next-year stuff. Is it out there and I'm just not seeing it or did the pedants all get tired?
As a former pedant, I gave up on that fight in 2000.

I kinda miss it. I mean, I have pretty much let "decimate" go, but it makes a little wistful every time I don't say anything, you know?
Pendantic nostalgia, who knew?

Aw, man. That is sad.
Somewhat relatedly, in sideways fashion, Facebook has started showing me ads for "pelmeni dumpling molds" and on the one hand it still amazes me to see this niche food that is part of my culture showing up as a mainstream product at all, the pelmeni that they dump out of the mold in the ad do not look right, I am sorry, no.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
sigh ... it bugs me how the apostrophe is abused ... and I'm also annoyed at the fact that more and more places don't use the double quotes for titles, quotations, etc.
