Think About It
Another grammatical announcement:
If you think the phrase is, 'you've got another thing coming', then you've got another think coming.
That's right, boys and girls, the expression is rightly rendered as "you've got another think coming", not thing. If you ruminate on this for a bit, you'll understand why.
I've seen this mistake waaaay too much ( Read more... ) -
Kitty, the Friendly Vampire
A few mornings ago, I was taking the trash out when I saw my neighbor had left his outside of his door, presumably to take it down when he left for work. I was headed that way, so I picked his up and took them with mine ( Read more... ) -
This is Not a Real Post

The book in question is How Not to Write a Novel by Mittelmark and Newman, which is just what it says on the tin. For those of you aware of my (ir)regular rants on fanfic authors and common mistakes, some of the problems discussed will be familiar. ( Read more... ) -

You may now go back to your regularly scheduled lives.

I honestly have no idea what to say. I keep coming back to, "What. The. Hell?" -

Don't Ask, Don't Tell has been repealed
All I can say is it's about time. My brother didn't get why I was so invested in it, since I have no intention of ever joining the military. All I could tell him is that no one should ever have to choose between who they are and what they want to be. -
Yadda
I ran into an old friend of mine from middle school the other day as I was walking around campus at night. She was just leaving her lab and we spotted each other at the crosswalk. As we were talking, she kept looking at me kind of weird, and I was starting to get self-conscious, wondering if I had something on my face ( Read more... )
