I'm also a worrier, but I will try to take a lot of the over-the-top rules with a grain of salt. I plan to just use common sense and do things as I normally would (plus a cut back on the tiny amount of imbibing that I do). BUT, and I actually haven't looked into this with great depth, but I think I need to take the…

Hi Aimee, what are your thoughts on the advances of the prosthetic limbs that have sensory capabilities (are connected to a person's central nervous system)?

I missed out on the scholarships, but I did go to a good state school (and graduated with under $20k of loans) and did more than a handful of internships, but sadly they were all unpaid and when I did land paying gigs there were barely for living wages. So, my choice was then, if I wanted any kind of career in my…

I'm very happy to report that I've had Sprint LTE in my NYC Midtown East office for a little over a week now. I don't get more than 3 bars, but the speed test results are vastly better than before. My home outside borough home still doesn't have any LTE towers activated yet, but I'm not complaining because it's…

I can attest to the loveliness of white sapphires. I'm a big fan of the one I bought and it was a fraction of the cost of a diamond. Yay for low demand!

I love that my query has spurred so many responses because I'm really interested in every and all theories. Also, I'm avoiding work.

I've definitely seen this. I have a friend who has a speech impediment that gives him a twisty sort of English accent. Almost everyone he meets thinks he's from the UK.

That makes sense to me...and I'd love to hear what a Montanan accent sounds like...but I think the New York many accents are hard to absorb for most post college transplants because we are mixed in with such a diverse group of people with accents from all over the world. JGL may be spending most of his downtime with…

Yes, in certain lines of work.

Yeah, that's true. Some folks are sponges like that. Madonna and her temporary English accent comes to mind. Also, I remember a teacher telling me about how when she came back to the US from studying in the UK for a year, her family teased her for her "weird" accent.

I guess. But I think it's a bit more deliberate and not naturally absorbed. I'm a transplant too and have lived here a whole lot longer than he has and have not picked up a native accent - hell, no transplant I know has picked it up. And my ear is pretty attuned to it, so it just throws me off when I hear it from…

Thanks for the partial edification, but the term doesn't exclusively refer to those from the South, but because words can have multiple meanings and uses, I was using its secondary meaning. My apologies for confusing a portion of the readership of Jezebel.

I love Joe, but what is up with his vaguely New Yorky accent? He grew up in CA. He sort of sounds like my brother in law who puts on an affected Bronx accent to, presumably, fit in better with his good ole boy coworkers.

Yes, very good point! To me, the two woman really travel in two vastly different spheres.

Nor do I. But then again, a lot of people don't get my outright hatred for Adrien Brody.

Yes, she really is much more talented!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oops, I forgot to mention this was Central Park's production of Into the Woods last summer. And yup, it's a cool park ;-) But one I don't visit nearly enough.

Yes, AGREED! I adore, but per my comment I just posted about Anne, I actually have heard Amy sing Sondheim live (yay Shakespeare in the Park) and, I really, really hate to say it, but she just didn't have the technique and pipes. Not that doesn't diminish her in any way to me, but I just really, really wanted her to…

No, Madeleine, we cannot agree. Anne has more class in her cute and stylish pixie cut than the whole of that Break-Up Girl Singer Swift. Plus, Anne is a million times more talented (a better singer to boot - 'Hey Swift, how about YOU try singing some Sondheim.')

I'm also very much part of this world, and I agree as well. Scott Synder's words didn't sound out-of-place or gendered to me. It's all about context. Laura, it sounds to me that you don't spend a lot of time in the world of comics.
