Infinity: it's everywhere (and everywhen).

Yes


Compendiously amusing I'm sure. But do you two intimates have an other than intimate comment to direct towards we, of the larger group?

Just today, ahead of me at the Wendy's drive-up, I overheard this lady ordering a salad. When asked whether she would like Ranch or French dressing, she replied, "one of both."

I once had an argument with a co-worker over the spelling of chaise longue. She insisted that since more people understand the meaning of, and the spelling of, longue as lounge, then that makes it correct. No, she didn't say it made it "acceptable".....she said it made it "correct"

I could not convince her that correct and acceptable have different implications.........
