Adam: typoed?
typo’ed
typo’d?
I don’t know which of those is correct

Me: they all are
equally correct

Adam: in that they’re all wrong?

Me: i aint no prescriptive linguist
but that is one way to look at it

I want to say that this article, which you should read, is a good response to this article, but to do so, I’d have to read that second article.   I couldn’t make it all the way through, because any blogger who writes a paragraph too large for my screen is doing something wrong.

I’m not going to go through the second article, but I’m going to give Fry the benefit of the doubt and assume that he is not actively trying to bastardize the English language.  It’s one thing to use a noun as a verb, knowing that it is incorrect.  It’s another thing entirely to say that it is literally raining cats & dogs.

So today, I wanted to watch a DVD on my laptop, and I suddenly noticed that the DVD button on my laptop wasn’t bringing up the menu like it normally does.  I tried to play in in Media Player, which didn’t work, and I tried to play it in Media Center, which also didn’t work (and is probably the same thing as Media Player).

I got to thinking about the changes I had made recently, and I realized a while back I had deleted a bunch of what I thought at the time was software that had just come pre-installed.  Oops.

So I go into System Restore, and I see that I had removed all this crap almost a month ago.  October 8th.  So I set the restore point at October 7th, and 10 minutes later I’m watching my movie.

Now…  should I be pumped that Windows is so advanced that I can bring back programs that I deleted nearly a month ago?  Or should I be mad that Windows comes pre-packaged with so many crappy, useless programs that I can’t tell what I’m deleting?

From here:

“I don’t think anybody should give Sarah Palin that much credit…that my presence on the ticket would trump the economic crisis that America found itself in a couple of months ago and attribute John McCain’s loss to me,” she said.

Awww, come on now. Trust me, you played a huge part in helping him lose.

This video almost made me cry.
