It's proper to chasten those who hasten to mispronounce "often" by failing to soften the "t."

Turns out we're both right:

That's ironic; I've always thought "of-ten" sounded ignorant.

So, what you're saying is, she should dress more conservatively because, you know, men are all animals that can't help themselves?

*snooping thru her Instagram*

No. How it works is this: people think that they are entitled to other people's bodies and they act on that. It doesn't matter how clothed or unclothed the body in question is. I'm actually going to be a bit of a contrarian by saying that I find Rihanna's choice to dress this way a bit unsettling (though, yes, she…

I think you're right. I do sound a bit prissy. But I will just blame it on being European :)

See, this one is confusing to me because while that tweet means something, their commercials over the years have said something vastly different.

Old timers is a joke. It's said on purpose. It's not getting it wrong. Because, generally, old timer's get the disease.

Sherbert and Sherbet are both actual words. Sherbet is the more common, but Sherbert (actual spelling) has been around for at least a couple hundred years. It's also uniquely an American thing.

One of my pet peeves.

sucks to your ass-mar

I really like knock-ya, and I'm bummed that I won't be able to use it without confusing people and sounding pretentious :(

Waldheimer's Disease: when you forget you were a Nazi

Also pretty interesting was when he had Claire Danes on, and for whatever reason the fact that her father-in-law is a philosophy professor dealing with morals came up. This greatly interested Craig, and he told her that he wanted to have the father-in-law on the show, which he did a few months later. It was great.

First of all, wonderful piece, because LLS is far and away the best of the late night shows. Second, I agree that the middle aged white guy thing needs to be broken up... but by Chelsea Handler? I mean, if all you want in the job is a "not-middle-aged-white-guy" then ok, i guess... but can't we do better? She's not…
