Does anyone like David Koechner? The poor bastard has played supporting characters in big comedies for years and really seems to bust his ass, and yet he's lucky if he even gets a one-line mention in reviews. Seemingly everyone he's worked with has gone on to huge success, but poor Champ never moves up.

I actually edited it to from simply "conditions" and changed it to "medical conditions" because the word sounded weird without a modifier. I then changed it to "neurological" because I anticipated you were going to hone in on "medical" and wanted to head off any lectures, but c'est la vie. This is why it's sometimes…

My point is that your reasoning was flawed to begin with. Obviously you can be offended at whatever you want, but I think the motivations you ascribe to those who capitalize neurological conditions are incorrect. People don't do it to other-ize people. They're do it because they're confused about the rules.

Jew here. This isn't nearly as bad. And while I don't know her religion for sure, I definitely get a "non-practicing Jew poking fun at her brethren" vibe from that tweet.

I think you're reading too much into it, to be perfectly honest. Like the poster said, he/she merely confused it with Asperger's, which is capitalized since it's a proper name. I think that's the root of a lot of confusion over capitalization of conditions, as a lot of them (Alzheimer's, Down's, Lou Gehrig's, etc.)…

"In my own little way, I understood Michael Jackson," Frank said in a 2012 interview with The Daily, intimating that her own level of fame is in some way comparable to that of the late King of Pop and has thus affected how she interacts with the public.

I just couldn't stand his voice. That vibrato was all over the damn place.

Awesome. Have a cookie.

Good for her. But that means this is essentially a diary entry, not a repository of useful or relevant information for would-be travelers.

Yeah, especially staying at hotels with concierge and room service. Bartending ain't gonna cover that.

I’m an ambivert, which means that I need to keep my social time and solo time in balance.

Just an observation.

I was a giant X-Files nerd and I hated the crossover. Mulder and Scully were completely extraneous to the story, the actors sounded bored, and there weren't really any references to the actual show aside from a quick appearance by the Smoking Man. Just lame. The Frasier crossover with David Hyde Pierce as Sideshow…

Fair enough. I guess ultimately I don't see "sexualized child" in Perry's act. She's not writhing around on stage, doing any Britneyesque wink-wink Lolita shit, or even showing that much skin (her costume is essentially a one-piece bathing suit). Really, she's probably the most kid-friendly pop act out there who isn't…

Yes. All you needed to say was "His sentences are sometimes confusingly long but they're not technically run-on. Sorry, I'm a stickler for shit like that." Instead you made a big, backdoor-braggy show of your learning (something you're still doing) in correcting him while noting how you're just so above all this silly…

A person pointing out a typo or grammatical error? One thing. A self-described linguist ("I know more than you!") correcting a person's grammatical issues as "stylistic and aesthetic, not objective"? All on a blog post about silly celebrity gossip, which the poster takes pains to make clear he/she doesn't care at all…

Were you never a child? Did you never listen to Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, Britney, Christina, etc.?

I guess her costumes are sort of playful and bubble-gummy, but as a whole I'm not seeing "child-sexy" with Perry. Early-career Britney did that way more blatantly, and those of us who listened to her as kids turned out more or less fine.

Thank you, Internet Pedant.
