Do you people never say that "the painters are in"? Or use the rather degrading terminology of "on the rag"?

Oh, and "I've got my period" is so lazy .english it's not funny. It's my proposal that we remove the word "got" from the English language entirely and make people think about grammar for one, and just how they "get" stuff [ie, recieve, catch, fall into, etc, etc].

Desiring most people to "think" about anything at all when it comes to English is probably way too much to ask.

My year 8 English teacher thought it was worth a try. And thus, fifteen years on or something ridiculous, I still continue to do my best. ;)

Yes, the fact that AOL says, "You've got mail" has always grated on my nerves.



Oh, and then there's the ever popular, "Aunt Flo is here." Heh.

It's been so long since I've had to deal with girls and their ... "problems" ... that I've forgotten half of the truly amusing names.
