The more I read the more I wanted him to stop. Just stop! Yeah, playing on their period probably sucks but you’ll never hear Serena blame that for a loss. And the “loss of family time” thing? Motherfucker, if they wanted kids they’d have kids. They want to play tennis so they’re playing tennis. There are women in the…

I disagree. Sometimes, you don’t realize how toxic a person was for you until you get some time and distance. 25 years ago, one of my best friends and I had a massive falling out. She cut contact with me - because SHE had done something awful and then she got upset that I dared to be angry about the thing she did.

Or nah.

You’re everything that’s wrong with America.

Last night, I ran from the living room to the kitchen to save a bag of Pop Secret that was starting to burn. I hurt myself. I’m not running unless the structure I’m in is on fire or I’m on fire.

No, this is really good advice. If a salesperson works with you, analyzes your stride, provides you with a half-dozen options, goes back to check if it’s in a slightly bigger size or a different color and finds a shoe you like, going on to Amazon to save $15 is a dick move. Don’t be a dick.

On one hand, I feel sorry for him. But on the other, I don’t.

Me now

I’m sorry but I can’t stop laughing at “you can’t fuck me I’m a nun”.

It sounds like it belongs on broadway. But with more jazz to it. Like...
INTRODUCING, FOR THE FIRST TIME ON STAGE

“You Can’t Fuck Me, I’m a Nun!”

wow the vitriol that came out regarding our inquiries into this is pretty astounding, who knew so many people cared so deeply about a/an + h?

The general rule is that you use “an” if the word begins with a vowel sound, whether the word begins with a vowel or not. That’s why you’d say “a user” but “an hour.” But if you want to get really technical, some grammarians say that you can use “an” if a word begins with an aspirated h and the first syllable in the…

Whenever there is one and it’s in working order.

That makes more sense - I’ve always used “an” for historic though, despite the hard consonant...

Or a Canadian :) But surely you’ve heard someone say: an honest person... same deal.

It’s arbitrary the way it’s applied (e.g. an honest person - common; an historic moment - uncommon), but it is correct usage. People always think I’m poncey when I speak it though...

This would be deliciously funny if an innocent kid hadn’t been scarred for life. Fuuuck. Guessing the authorities chalk this up to an accident as per usual.

Depends on who you talk to, but I’ve been a copy editor for the last 15 years across multiple organizations, publications and states, and I’ve never encountered a style guide that called for “an historic.”

I’m from Michigan and I clearly say “a horrific”. I definitely vocalize the “h” and so do most of my friends. I can’t speak for everywhere, but if I said “an ‘orrific” I’d sound like I was badly imitating a fake British accent.

DEFINITELY “a horrific”. If some regional pronunciation of “horrific” involves dropping the H sound, well then they’re wrong.
