Finally one of mine made it.
I sent them this:
Again, you’re assuming because you don’t like the way something sounds that it’s grammatically incorrect. Nothing that he wrote in the headline is wrong. You might not like the way it sounds but it’s accurate AND it’s grammatically correct. Talking down to him and questioning his work ethic is rude as hell, especially…
In English usage, redundancy is usually defined as the use of two or more words that say the same thing, but we also use the term to refer to any expression in which a modifier’s meaning is contained in the word it modifies.
Because Hot Toys TOYS doesn’t sound completely asinine right? There’s a difference between a “grammar screw up” and being redundant. When you talk about your car do you also refer to it as “car” after the brand? “When I’m on the highway in my Honda CAR, I drive fast.” “I was at McDonald’s Fast Food Chain Restaurant…
Lee’s scumbag lawyer is absolutely taking advantage of her. Hell, even in the commercial-disguised-as-documentary she and the publishers produced to try and convince people this was all above board she still couldn’t resist talking about how Lee (who is virtually absent from the entire production) “takes suggestions.”
Liar! He hosts a radio programme.
Once again proving that college students have WAY too much time on their hands.
When I was in high school, some local, road-side hotel decided to convert their restaurant to a Chinese buffet. They called the high school to see if there were any “Chinese girls who would like a job.” Damn it.

I have one! One night, while working as a hostess, I was doing my job and about to sit a party. A group of men in their 30s was leaving the restaurant. I say goodbye to them and thank them for their patronage while starting to lead the other party inside. At this moment, I fell a hand under my dress grab my butt…
You need to get over that. I'm an English language teacher, and I can tell you that it stands in as a less formal "you're welcome", which is widely accepted in other languages. Or do you get mad at Spanish speakers for saying "de nada" or French speakers for saying "de rien"?
This comment is a perfect illustration of why I will NEVER do one of these from the customer's perspective. If you're really complaining about your server saying "no problem," you need to take a long, hard look in the goddamn mirror, because that is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.
I used to work as a server-bartender at an Irish pub. Our menu had authentic Irish meals like Irish breakfasts, shepherd's pie, etc., as well as burgers and other bar food. The day after my birthday, when I had been out very late, I had a Wednesday evening shift. This was in the space between Christmas and New Year's,…
He either loses as a hero or play long enough for others to see him as a villain.
Those crazy Jeopardy fans want Chu gone so the show can get back to the way it once was….but i know the truth….there’s no going back….He’s changed things…forever…
It's an interesting article/interview. Thanks, Owen.
Woah, you have an incredibly sympathetic view of Walt here, and I have to disagree on several points:
