Is it Friday yet?!

It's not possible for a week to seem any longer than this one has. I have been chasing my tail EVERY DAY it seems like. Ever have one of those weeks? Nothing particularly bad has happened-- it's just that every little task has taken too long. I'm going to try to make sure that my blog today doesn't get added to the list.

On a brighter note, I was pleased with today's Urban Dictionary Word of the Day. Irregardless!!! Of course, the user who added this maintains that "Of course everyone knows what you mean to say and only a pompous,rude a$$hole will correct you." I have to say that unless the person was very close to me (which wouldn't be the case because all of my close friends and family are brilliant) I wouldn't actually correct someone. However, I must admit that I would certainly be the pompous a-hole who cringed and took pause at the atrocity you had just committed if you actually used this word in conversation. It is one of my pet peeves. There's absolutely nothing wrong with using plain and simple words in conversation. And there's nothing wrong with using those snazzy "fifty cent" words, either. But if you're going to exceed 10 letters per word, do try to make sure you know what you're saying. Otherwise you might come across as someone who is merely trying to seem intelligent. Someone like me who admits to having only 6 credit hours of college experience, would deem you much smarter if you stuck with what you knew. I, for example, might come across as a blithering idiot in these blogs. But if I do, I certainly hope that is based on my opinions or choice of content as opposed to my grammar!

On the same topic, I love it when something that is supposed to be a critique of someone's intelligence, is in fact, itself, moronic. If we're going to call someone a moron let's do it correctly? I mean, c'mon. Why is there such a distinct lack of "you're" in lieu of "your" on the world wide web?? No child left behind? My a$$.

Admittedly this is a topic that shouldn't be high on anyone's priority list given world hunger, our nation's deficit and this year's presidential elections. But someone had to care.
