Jeez, why are people so uptight about food? If you don't like ketchup, don't eat ketchup. How does it effect you if someone else likes their food different than you do?

Just try being a genuine person. I think maybe if you're having a problem it's because you're still classifying women as Other, not just fellow human beings. You just lumped us into a category as people who take the time and care to pick out an outfit - not all of us do. Some women will wear a potato sack because they

I think it's great that her dress is simple. For people who can throw gobs of money at anything, it shows deliberation. The material is beautiful & what they're trying to draw attention to is the back of the dress where she has her kids' drawings. Those are what really matters to them & taken together makes the dress

I feel like maybe you need to pick better things to hate than some loving family's wedding.

This has to be one of the creepiest comments on Jezebel ever.

You may not open the door to the room where I keep the taxidermied bodies of my previous partners

My monogamous relationships are more open than this. Jeez. Glad he DTMFed.

That's a relationship that wasn't even strong enough to handle monogamy, much less any kind of poly. The Boyfriend Contract, brought to you by Sheldon Cooper. Terrible. Glad your friend tore it up and ran.

Yeezus, did they write this while attending the Christian Grey School of Contracts.

Mrs. does not equal "Wife of." Mrs. is a shortening/ of "Mistress" (which became Missus/Mrs) who would be the companion to the "Master" (which became Mister/Mr.). It is also the feminine form of "Master" - meaning there's no actual master required for the use to be grammatically correct. Not to be confused with

That's not grammar, that's usage. Grammar imparts meaning by showing the relationship between categories of words, and usually changes very slowly in response to migration, isolation, exposure to other languages, and simplification. Usage is a lot like vocabulary, and can change rather quickly, often in response to

Professional linguist popping in to say that "grammatically correct" isn't a scientific term. It literally means nothing beyond what old-fashioned, aggressive traditionalists prescribe for humanity.

The fundamental tenet of formal linguistic study is that whatever native speakers use in real life is grammatical. So do

It's not grammatically incorrect. It goes against traditional etiquette, but it has nothing to do with grammar. Grammatically incorrect would be to say "Meester John and Meesus Jane Doe." Because those are not, though they should be, acceptable words.

The thing is, if I'm paying the calligrapher, they should be willing to write "you wanna done come on down to this here wedding", if that's what I told them to write, regardless of what's correct, grammatically. And if they aren't willing to do that, they should decline to do the work, not just send out invitations

Can I just issue a pre-emptive hope that Jez can avoid all the horrible "Hasn't this woman ever heard of birth control?" and similar comments that the Gawker version was inundated with? Beyond the fact that this woman's reproductive choices are none of your fucking business, honest to god, some people have children on

I read an article on another website about Jezebel's decision to call out Gawker about the abusive comments/rape gifs, and I stupidly read the comments on that article. One commenter said he wouldn't be surprised if the Jezebel bloggers posted all of the rape gifs themselves for attention. It is incredible to me that
