Remember Dr ATKINS!!!!!!!!!!!

My posts are pretty much just a free flow of thought. I speak much more
grammatically than I type out here. it's like a no big deal thing. I don't
like to capitalize much either. so sometimes I do and sometimes I don't = }

well if we are venting out, I have to say that I hate it when people talk
about their own experiences/feelings as "you" Come'on people, It's your
feelings so you should say "I" as in "I felt like....." or "when this
happens, I feel that" got it?

"Regardless" already means "without regard" - saying "irregardless"
is, in effect, creating a double negative - so "irregardless" really
means "WITH" regard. Sooooo annoying... Kalish

Heh. Try applying that logic to "homophobic"... you get "fear of the same".
Go figgure.

waves hand in air Oooh Oooh. That's it. It absolutely irritates me when
someone does that in an interview.

Oprah: So tell me Mr. Smith, how did it feel to get your side ripped open by
a shark?

Mr. Smith: Well, you swim as fast as possible to shore hoping that someone
can save you...

I don't mind that so much. Maybe it's because one of my favorite short
stories as a kid was written in the second person. It was from the point
of view of a pet cat who ends up killing its owner's abusive boyfriend. I
can't remember the name of the story or the author, but it was really cool.
Or maybe it's from all the role playing games in highschool: "You walk
down the dark corridor, then all of a sudden a group of orcs jumps out and
charges you!" When people tell stories in the second person, it somehow
makes it feel more immediate and personal, I don't even notice that it's
grammatically incorrect.

What a great story for a kid... This is my cat, Tabby. See Tabby run. Run
Tabby, run. This is my boyfriend, Johnny. See Johnny beat me up. Beat Johnny,
beat. See Tabby rip out Johny's throat. Nice Tabby.

Sheesh. What else did you read when you were a kid, Luna :-)

Hmm. Twilight Zone Magazine and Omni had some great short stories too, and
I remember reading a lot of Judy Blume and Beverly Cleary. Oh! And
"Choose Your Own Adventure" books were great. I read just about every
science fiction book in the YA section of the library, until I started
reading "classic" science fiction when I was 13, with _Stranger in a
Strange Land_.

My boss keeps on using "irregardless" in meetings ... my tongue is sore from

Mind you, us kiwis have our own mutilations too ... like the plural of 'you'
being 'youse' as in "youse fullas [fellas] wanna beer?"
