Writing Center Wall
I submit to you this marvel of the English language, proposed by Dave Gaebler, and written on the white board in the Writing Center:
The contraction of “You all would not have”: Y’all’d'n’t've
It clocks in at a 30+% increase in efficiency.
We Want You!
You may remember, a while ago, when I mentioned the American Family Association‘s poll on gay marriage, which didn’t quite go as well as they had hoped.
Well, it seems that they didn’t really learn from their lesson. I just received an automated email from them telling me about another online poll, this time to predict the next President of the US. But, see, they sent this email to all the people who voted for gay marraige last time, thus again rendering their poll a humorous example of a skewed sample.
Either that, or with 89% of the conservative traditional-family crowd, Kerry’s going to win this thing in a walk.
