Do You Remember?
msstar posted something similar just a bit ago, but since the main reason I logged in today was to post this bit on nonsense I decided to go right ahead and do it anyway.

OH damn, I forgot about the storm. Not much af a storm really but a tad unpleasant nontheless. Here is is nearly the end of April and as I look out the window I notice it has been snowing for quite some time. The accumulation is over two inches by read the rest

Well I suppose, since you are arm twisting and all. What I will actually do is tell a little story about a series of little events that took place earlier today. I hope that is OK. To begin with I had the pleasure of entertaining my three youngest read the rest

should the ten commandments be displayed in public schools and court houses?
As I have already said, I could really give a care one way or the other. Now, if you had said that you have discovered that your elementary age child's teacher has begun opening her class day with a scripture reading and a recitation of the Lord's read the rest

Do you actually believe that by displaying some artifact, or reasonable facsimile there-of, whether religious or secular in any way endorses the tenets of any religion or philosophy? What about copies of Greek statues depicting Greek or Roman deities in read the rest

What I find interesting is the fact that you even give a damn what someone else may or may not believe. I certainly don't care what you believe. read the rest

So you think you know English?
The only one I had any difficulty with was often so I looked the word up in Webster's. While the "offen" pronunciation is listed first therefore "preferred", as with many words second and third acceptable alternatives are given. Off ten is, while not read the rest

So you think you know English?
Actually star, even in merry ole England pronunciation varies by region. Who's to say which is correct? Just because some ecitor at Oxford says a thing does not mean a thing. Whether one is from Wales, Scotland, Piccadilly or Boston, it only matters read the rest

So you think you know English?
Language is a wonderful thing, but actually pronunciation is a relative thing. I have friends who pahk their cah in the cah pahk. Some of them are pooah. I know a few who warsh their hands with watah. It is really a matter is where one is that read the rest
