These are not the tenants you're looking for...

Tenets. Tenets are foundational principles. Tenants are people who occupy rented spaces.

While we're at it, principles are those important core ideas. Principals are either heads of schools, or the main players in some issue or business.

Who's the "pham" in euphamism, anyway? It's euphEmism, please. Especially if you're going to snark about

Tennants are actors, too.

I may be guilt of that euphamism/euphemism thing, though. I'm going to have to remember that.

Ten-ants is how I jokingly draw "ari ga tou".

If I've inspired you to remember euphemism, my work here is...sadly, probably never done. Nice to think I affected things positively, though.

[kittydesade]

A little bit helps.

... And this reminds me that I was watching the news yesterday and they had an article about a Big Heroine Bust and I startled the cat from laughing.

Innit, tho? ;) I love quirky spelling *on purpose*. A bit of well-placed lolcatz is amusing. EuphAmism is just cringe-inducing.

There are a handful of LJers who have atrocious spelling that I follow avidly anyway, because I find their writing worthwhile (and it's all check-o's, anyway. "high heals", etc.) Mostly, though - can't write? Not reading.

If David Tennant was a landlord and had rules for his lodgers, who were headmasters of American schools they'd be

If he only had rules for the most important lodgers, and the rules were all about when they could use the building's tennis courts, they'd be Tennant's tenants' tennis tenets: principles for principal principals.

Oh, *THAT'S* the one that I was trying to remember when I was composing this one. (I had a note with a bunch collected, but it seems to have disappeared. Feh.)

[hitchhiker]

there's also "free reign", which at least makes sense (not sure if that's better or worse for reining it in, though)

[puffpastry]

LOL! You are hilarious.
I've been seeing insanely bad spelling, grammar and apostrophe usage creep into ALL the Minneapolis newspapers and news websites lately. It's horrible. Like, full-on, career reporters and event advertisers reverting to a fifth grade level. Disconcerting!

Share, share!

(Being told by you that I'm hilarious is high praise. Thank you!)
