They don't call me "The Slayer" for nothing.

It's ok if you are a buzzkill because you are hotter than the inside of the sun!

... and smart too.

I can usually do a lot better than this.

While coordinating an after-school literacy program, we were agog and frankly in disbelief when a child told us that his teacher is no longer giving her classes instruction in how to write cursive, since they ''aren't going to need it anymore''.

As much as I hate to admit it, that teacher is probably right. Fingerprints and/or retinal scans and/or digital photos could easily become the default identification protocols for all legal transactions and personal authentications.

If cursive is justified over print writing because of its speed, then keyboarding or voice recognition software can replace cursive by virtue of the same logic. Abandoning a method of writing does not sound the death knell of language. Education still requires knowing grammar, spelling and punctuation in order to communicate by language.

Ask someone under 40 why it's called the "shift" key.

OMG. Having known that all my life, it is shocking to realize you are right, they have no reason to understand that.

Some of the stuff that has been brought up here has just surprised me. Startled. It amazes me.

I wont be shocked though, if in twenty years "ur" completely replaces both you're and your.

You mean like "Dial tone" and "private line" ?

Or "Hand written letter"?

On OKC, one of the 'looking for' options is 'penpals'. And by penpals what most mean is email/ chat buddy.

Here's a peeve of mine. Watching the clerks at the local post office key-in data with two fingers, hesitating and scanning the entire keyboard before each stroke as if it's not a tool that they use every single day.

And I thought this was just something that happened here. People really are the same all over.

OMG. Having known that all my life, it is shocking to realize you are right, they have no reason to understand that.

So, what is the reason?

Not having to have security tell stupid fuckwads to pull their God damn pants up. I work at a casino and you wouldn't believe how many dipshits have to be told to pull their pants up. And they go out in public dressed like this.

For that matter, given the advent of casinos, it used to be that, if you wanted to get rid of your money that quickly, you had to buy all kinds of bullshit or light it on fire. Now? Just go to the blackjack table.

Why are droopy drawers a threat to casino "security"?
