@Not That Mike The Other Mike – No worries! I thought that might have been it, but I wasn’t sure, cause I figured if you were trying to copy the childish vernacular you might have added more typos. And more stuff like “!!!!1!!One!!” and crap like that. Anyway, yeah, next time just go all out crazy and it’ll be super obvious.

bookmon: re: vernacular: was it ‘The Young Visiters’ [*sic*], by Daisy Ashford?

For anyone who likes BritWit [c'mon, Pythons!]

Thanx, kimski.
Yeppers, ‘their’ as gender neutral plural as in Shakespeare and Austen;
shakes head, and ‘feminist’ in this century is pronounced ‘HYOO-man-ist’
Now, (takes off schoolma’rm glasses), speaking of hyoomans, Pa-sickies all around!

Anne Boleyn, the use of “their” predates the use “his” as neutral.It seems like your not so much a purist as wanting to stick to what you learned when growing up.
Language changes….. off with her head!

Those are Shih-Tzu puppies.

I’d go into a few of my own pet peeves, but if you don’t know me by now…

LOL. Anne Boleyn I’m with you… a purist. Also with Theresa (less vs. fewer) and I am constantly talking back to the TV when people say something like “They gave it to my wife and I.” which is as bad as “Me and Tom went to the store”. AUGH.

Cashew — he won’t.
Upon that you may depend.

Completely off-topic here, but is anyone else wondering when That Mike is going to show up?

Thoz puppers gotta be Havs. The puppers are Havs. The stinky cats are Hav-nots.
