Most of the sketches were pretty average but at least they didn’t seem as lazy as last week. Pretty sure the white board in the writers room that week just said “Jennifer Lopez = Hot!... Jokes?” 

When I was interviewing for my first full-time coaching job, the head coach asked me if I would be willing to make a three-year commitment to the position. I told him that I would be happy to negotiate and sign a multi-year contract. “Oh no,” he said, “We wouldn’t be giving you a contract. We would just want you to… Read more

You’re operating under the assumption that writing a form of standard English is good and not a tool of colonialist oppression.

For all intensive purposes it’s a perfectly cromulent alternate spelling.
