Yes! This is what I came here to say! The skinny glutton!

I get this. Because the obvious response is to be shocked that she'd give him the time of day—but if you've ever seen Lyle Lovett in concert... it's not that simple. That dude has charisma.

Jesus Christ, dude. If English isn't your first language, then learn to take constructive criticism. What I'm telling you is that it DOES matter if you put the "the" in front of it. It matters to all the other native English speakers (I'm not only a native English speaker—I'm actually an editor by trade—I make a

You didn't say "Native"—You said "the Natives." There's a big difference.

Um... I'm full Alabama Coushatta. I grew up on a reservation. No one in the American Indian community refers to themselves as "Natives." Some people still use the term "Native American"—but that was almost always just a way for white people to refer to Indians. When discussing all nations and tribes indigenous to

I know your heart is in the right place, but it's not okay to call American Indians "the Natives." That may have been what they were to British colonists 300 years ago, but that's not an acceptable term anymore.

Honestly? Most progressive Americans don't think it's a bad thing at all that colonialism finally fell. I think more conservative Americans see it as a cautionary tale—that America's place at the head of the table could be usurped. But, I mean, if the worst that happens is that the US ends up like the UK (with a

Get a grip. They're not segregating post-mastectomy women. They're offering an area with extra privacy in case people feel uncomfortable discussing their bodies' needs where other people may overhear. You may as well accuse this guy of being Hitler while you're at it.

Globally and historically. I said that in my comment. Read better.

I don't know what the fuck your first paragraph is about.

And I don't rigorously comment on MRA sites because they, unlike feminists, consider themselves to be closer to humanists.

It's not just for handwriting, but it doesn't mean that words can't be understood; it means they can't be read—as in visually processed. The typewritten words here can clearly be read—so the other commenter obviously meant that he couldn't understand those words. Not that he couldn't read them. Illegible cannot be

Sorry, but he's using illegible wrong. It is confined to meaning that something cannot be interpreted because it is visually impossible to make it out. Not that it can be read but not understood because of a lack of sense.

Actually, you are using "illegible" wrong. It means that something is visually not clear enough to be read—not that the words can be read but don't make sense. What you mean is unintelligible.

I don't see any snark. I'm not sure we read the same article.

Aaaand... you would be wrong.

I have a friend from San Antonio who moved to Atlanta a while back. He drives an hour across town just to go to Taco Cabana (because it's the best Mexican food in the city, according to him).

HEB is totally the best grocery store in the world. I have wanted to move out of Texas for years—YEARS. But every time I think about it seriously, I worry about leaving my mom and not being able to go to HEB. These are my top 2 concerns.

It's because you're using an adjective as a noun. Females=Not okay. Female scientist, female police officer = okay (in contexts where it's necessary or relevant to point out that the scientist, police officer, etc. is a woman). Same with blacks, whites, etc. "Blacks are all over the television"=no, sir. "Black

I feel like this is probably all an ingenious ploy to get his buddy Virt laid. I bet it's working. I kinda want to go out with Virt.
