  • crysb Just started an office job. Getting used to the linguistic torment. This list is great, but many of the things I read on here make me cringe. Aug 9, 2009

  • reesetee What Prolagus said! Apologies if I outed you on your Emmy status against your will. I just had to brag, since we're Wordie buddies and all. :-D

    Oh, and while you're here--I think there's a list that's begging to hear from you....
