For the love of God...ban sparkle.

Yes, tigers like monkeys a lot, especially the ones that spend time on the ground.

I'm so glad to see that emoticon on the list. Everytime I see one of those "heart" things, I think it's an ice cream cone or something. It just doesn't register to me as a "heart" immediately.

Can you still hear me?

Gee, Joe, if you take s/he out of the mix--how am I going to condensendingly refer to my ex-husband who now cross-dresses full time, legally changed his name to a woman's name but it far too much a weinie to actually go through the rigors of psychoanalysis and the operation?

I mean, really. There is a good use for it.

Two this time -

supercalifragilisticexpealidocious - superflous on its face

antidisestablishmentarianism - if you belong with those whose beliefs are against conventional principles just say as much; pretentious and a waste of syllables and bandwidth. That might be a good idea for a new thread - make up your own 'isms'

And to think of what happened last year to a perfectly good minister.

I stopped listening to Hannity just because of his endless repetition of that "NOT God BLESS America,..." clip.

Wordsmith.

Please. Immediately. And allow me to strangle any offender that comes up to me and says, "Ed, I have this item that needs wordsmithing." or "Can you wordsmith this for me, Ed?" or any other variation thereof.
