I've got an anecdote in a similar vein about my dishwasher. It has a little lighted screen that tells you what phase of the wash it's in. At some point part of the screen broke so it doesn't show the G in "washing" and "drying" anymore. When I look at it, it reads as Washin' or Dryin' and it makes me smile because it feels like my washer has gotten a little sassy in its old age
Fair. I feel like 33 is about the age when it's okay to start complaining about this. The good news is, you'll have even more justification to complain about it in another 10. More than you can possibly know
Yes. But it's a VERY big problem when we give them a different name. The typical American doesn't really know what an oligarchy is. Many more are familiar with the concept of fascism. It obscures the issue. Call a spade a spade.
Your POST gave me a SEIZURE Which I will be Recovering from (forever)!
