*cough*

I hate colds. Note the plural.

*sigh*

Ah well. Bright side: if I'm sick now, I'll be over it in time for the big test.

In the meantime, food for thought:

"Man is kind enough when he's not excited by religon, but once the holy holies have got a grip on him he's capable of almost anything. When a disciple from the wildcat religious asylum comes marching forth, get under the bed. It doesn't matter whether he's a Christian, Hindu, Jew, or Muslim. If he's made up his mind that you need reforming, he will do it with anything handy - an ax, 800 years of witch burning, or if necessary, he'll blow you up."

-Mark Twain, channeled by Hal Holbrook, in The New York Times.

Grammar choice that cheeses me off

OK, is it internally-retentive of me to get my hackles up every time I see someone use the word "normalcy"? People, there's a perfecly good English word that means the same thing.

Normality.

Normality.

I'm not even talking fanfic. I'm talking about people, public figures, who, one assumes (though not safely these days, considering the mental caliber of the current Emperor), have some education and grounding in the language.

Nor-ma-li-ty. Come on, it's only one more frelling syllable...
