1. One usually pronounces the "T", but when one drinks, all bets are off. |

And if you need something to contemplate, here's something for ya:
Why is it reasonable, just, and proper for government to have levers (such as the Fed) with which it may manipulate the economy?
Clearly, government income is tied to the economy; the better the economy is going, the more money the federal government will have to spend. The worse the economy gets for the nation as a whole, the less money government will have to spend. So government has an incentive, and frankly reason, to manipulate the economy by raising or lowering the interest rate. But that covers reason; why is it just and proper?
I offer this because I too have too much time on my hands.

8. Language is organic... |
|
...which means people who don't know better can fuck it up over time.
I make plenty of grammatical errors myself, and use colloquial language often, but for some reason it really bothers me when people pronounce the t. On some level, I actually resent it. I know that sounds ridiculous. I try not to dwell on it or let it change what I think of people, but it gives me a creepy feeling every time, like a weak handshake.
