I never knew that gender was sociological rather than biological. It kind of changes how one sees things, no? (And Charlotte Bronte, by the way, in 1853's <i>Villette</i>, used the word <i>sex</i> to mean male or female.) Cindy, thank you for comment one!

This being my first trip to Florida, I've always wondered if a person could <i>feel</i> the dick shape of the state. The answer is yes. 2. For me, I think the difference between stroke inducement and delight lies in the attitude or position of the offender. The examples Tracy and Sheila give are just delightful--only a pedantic asshole would get upset over those. The same is true of most language errors, now that I think of it. I tend to get upset mostly when I think the offender should know better--errors in textbooks, that sort of thing. Of course, this doesn't go for anyone who says sherbert, or mischievious, or who refers to beauty being it's own reward. Those people can all go fuck themselves. 1.

A Korean restaurant, as I recall, featuring both carry-out and table service. <strong>"TAKE IT OR EAT IT."</strong> Said to myself, I'm loving it either way.

“TAKE IT OR EAT IT.”

Sherbert. I have language-related peeves but I find that they're as inconsistent as I am. At a flea market in Kentucky I saw a sign that read: <i><b>"Make and offer. We won't to sale it."</b></i> My predisposition would normally be toward minor stroke but I actually fell in love with the sign in this case. Go figure. Oooo! Sherbert.
