ever since i unsubscribed to the linux user’s group mailing list, i’ve gotten basically no email other than spam. i never realized just how little personal email i got when my inbox had thirty new messages in it every day. i re-subscribed to the ‘a word a day’ mailing list, but i haven’t gotten a word since friday. i never thought to check if the listserver takes weekends off or not. it makes logging on an almost disappointing event. (nb: while typing this entry i received an email. it was spam. how appropriate.)
and, while i’m thinking of it, i absolutely cannot stand when people use “alls” as a word. you know… “alls i got to do is go down to the circle-k and buy a slushie.” ugh. it makes me cringe. literally. it’s all, not alls. don’t do it. it makes you sound white trash.
before you jump on me for using it in the title, please note the apostrophe and the intended usage. thank you. move along. there’s nothing to see here.
