I know an Emerald and she is AMAZING.

I met Meadowlark Lemon once and he was awesome.

I really like Lark… but it's reminding me that I know someone who recently named their daughter the French for lark, Alouette — LIKE THE SONG. THE SONG ABOUT TORTURING A SMALL BIRD.

The first boy I ever fancied was named Magnus. Now I'm daydreaming of teenaged Norwegians…

I really like the name Hadley for a girl. I think I first heard it because of Hadley Hemingway, but now I really enjoy Hadley Freeman's writing so I still like it.

"Home" to me sounds so totally personal. I feel almost like you can't buy or sell a home, you can only buy a house and then make it a home… if an estate agent kept banging on about homes to me I think I'd puke.

I have been dying to ask someone this, and maybe you are the person to answer it! If you call the things that go on that one particular region "underwear" then what word do you use for all the things that you wear under outerwear?

I read something really interesting a while ago about US English dropping the "ed" off adjectives, creating things like "ice water" and, in theory, "sequin dress". I have no idea how prevalent that is, of course.

I'm studying Spanish and I'm constantly making things "too personal" by saying "my" when I should say "the" (although I'm really into the "the" thing. I love how it sounds so oddly formal and vaguely scientific.)

I hate that! I refuse to even look at CVs of job/internship applicants who do that in their emails.

We definitely do the possessive thing to business names all the time in England — like calling the shop "Tesco's" when it's actually "Tesco". I've always thought it's because so many businesses *were* just given the owners' name originally, and still are, like "WH Smith's" or "Woolworth's", even though now some of…

I don't understand how that works… too many/not enough syllables, surely?

I just tried to say "broccoli" and make it sound like "Bracli" (what to do with the extra syllable?) and because I'm an idiot I'm doing this in a room with my dad and I can't explain why I'm making these weird noises. I officially do not think before I speak.

Well, she knew it was a low-budget horror film… but she didn't know that there would also be a) totally nsfw boob revelation, b) some sort of tickling fetish scene, c) Ron Jeremy (she said he was very gentlemanly and nice) and d) a shot in which the focus was on her knickers as she innocently climbed over a wall in a…

I really like Ruth Crilly. Everything I've ever tried that was recommended by her has been good (Elemis body brush!)

I'd never noticed chest wrinkles on anyone until my friend was accidentally in a sort-of-porn film and one of the actresses looked as though she'd spent the past 50-odd years on a sunbed and the resulting crevasses across her decolletage really alarmed me and I've been living in fear (slight exaggeration) of them ever…

"You are awake and everything is fine"? Everything is much better than fine.

This is hilarious. People are so serious on the internet.

Yep, "fitter" is definitely a real word: fit, fitter, fittest. (Plus, as a noun, "a fitter" is someone who fits things together, like in a factory or a garage. I've now got the annoying slogan from a chain of garages' TV advert stuck in my head, "You can't get better than a KwikFit fitter".)

Stoya's pretty clear about him being her boyfriend in her blog post about hating being shot by Jill Greenberg: http://stoya.tumblr.com/post/488149970…
