You funny x-posting geeks!
I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Heh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Heh.
My surprise was diphtheria. I've never pronounced that right, and I'm not sure I've ever heard it right either.
I try to say "fort," just for the fight of it.

If I only had a brain...
I can't get out of my side of the bed for books, and I'm out of shelf space. I may have too many.
I am Plei. In fact, I just had to move all the books beside the bed out to the hall so I could spray for fleas. Now I can't walk down the hall.
THIS MUST STOP. I think.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Betsy, you need bookshelves in the garage, is all.
That cross-post? Made me extremely happy.
Like "forte" -- it's only supposed to be pronounced "for-TAY" when referring to music; when it's used to mean a strong point, it's supposed to be pronounced "fort."
I can't imagine using any pronounciation other than "for-TAY." But I'll confess, I've always said "pernickety" and got stared at for it. On the rare occasions I heard it as a kid, there was no "s".

The mispronunciation that makes me cringe didn't make the list. When people say "Prior-ize" instead of "PrioriTize" it drives me crazy!

Ann, that's a ferret.
When people say "Prior-ize" instead of "PrioriTize" it drives me crazy!
I'll sometimes say "prior-ize." Usually when I want something done several days ago. Preferably by Richard Pryor.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

So, you want it flambéd?

I read her Tess mysteries out of order so I am pretty confused about where things were left.
This is a fabulous site to aid in getting the books in order. You can search by author or by character. Handy, that.
And look! Deb Grabien's in there!
