I really hate the increasing/increased use of words that are misspelled or shortened ... I'm sick of "nite" and "thru" used in regular writing and I really really hate "DMV" being used for "District-Maryland-Virginia" ... I mean, a visit to the original DMV is unpleasant enough to have made the acronym's association unpleasant.
In related news, yesterday on the bus, the man next to me asked me to pull the cord for the next stop. I did, he said "thank you" and I replied "you're welcome" ... to which he thanked me again for not saying "no problem".
Your thots on no problem? (Okay, that really hurt to type)
Whenever I start feeling okay, there's always something to bring me back down.
It's less aggravation for me to have her sick on vacation week because she's not crying to go to school, but it's sucks that she is going to miss going out with her grandparents and having her cousins over. I was planning on trying to see Birds of a pretty while she was with her grandparents. I'm hiding in my room right now while she drinks all the juice she wants and watches all the TV she wants because I have a migraine.
Oh man, one of my coworkers just said on a conference call that something was a "mute" point. I am only so descriptivist and that is not it.
When I was little and home sick, in addition to watching tv all day, sometimes my grandmother would make a Queen of Hearts sandwich for lunch, which was (I swear to god) raspberry or strawberry jam on white bread, in a bowl with milk poured over it.

"Mute point" kind of makes sense on a conference call? Not for how they used it, probably.
Does she know the acronym?
I am afraid to ask. That just seems like a whole can of worms I don't want anything to do with.
I think "no problem" is a perfectly cromulent response to many many situations and people who want to make it a problem earn my scorn
