The old Tonight Show with Johnny Carson theme.

I'm with you on that.

He's right about their stupid faces.

I hear Suzie Suckcock gets tired of the jokes too.

History of Violence has become one of my favorite series on the site. I always come away appreciating the article and the film — and in many cases that's a film I hadn't really taken seriously before. Really nice work.

I wrote and posted a reply that, so far as I see, has disappeared. To this effect: This particular thread was about the author's word choice in the article, and my opinion of language policing.

Personally, in exercises I like this, I like an arbitrary time restriction, for the structure it provides.

Having said that, I don't disagree with the…

That strikes me as a deeply strange conflation of art and politics.

What you're doing is being a little suckerfish attached to other people's work, sweating them down over minute points of usage. What's productive about that? Why not turn all that language policing on your own usage, which you can actually control? Go produce some magnificent corpus that's a shining beacon of…

Fuck you too.

So then don't use it that way.

One person who I think did a lot of damage in those endless battles over archaic, largely irrelevant meanings was George Carlin. Love him as a comic, but I know plenty of people who will quote him on things like it's impossible to disagree with anything he ever said, but almost all his bits about usage were just…

Not at the time, but upon rediscovering Lecy Goranson years later, yes.
