fellmamaOverheard in Reid just now:
"You smell good . . . is that patchouli?"
"Yeah."
"Oh, it's like my favorite!"
Damn hippies.
Other things that annoy me:
1) Misspelling of "y'all." It is not difficult. As y'all is a contraction of "you all," the apostrophe falls, logically, between "y" and "all." Yet even professors misspell it. Like a specific professor in an email I got the other day.
1a) "Y'all" is plural. Period. There are no grounds for debate here.
2) Pluralization with an apostrophe. Its so dumb when stupid folk's mispunctuate. It is, for that matter, dumb when SMART people mispunctuate. Maybe I should just give in and w'r'ite 'lik'e thi's! Ap'ost'rophe's f'or a'''ll'! The revolution commence's.
3) David Horowitz. Not just for his rabid, right-wing politics, but for his use of "data" as a singular verb subject: backed up by data that consists of profiles . . ..
