OK, I have had found the stamps, had a meeting, had a job interview, and gotten $60 taken off my Comcast bill. Not bad so far, but I guess I should do some actual work....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I had my mammo. Got to see my doctor. She reminded me that I'm fat.
Today can end anytime.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Does anyone have an opinion on "predominantly" vs. "predominately"? It's confusing me.

I'm mostly blanking on that music video (rock) where they display title cards and one of them is "It is cold where someone you love is."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Does anyone have an opinion on "predominantly" vs. "predominately"? It's confusing me.
The former is a word. The latter isn't. The way to remember is the former has the dominant root. ("Dominate" is a word too, but it's a noun, not an adjective.)
Oh, never mind, they're both words.

Because books.

The second is just a variant. But I like, and use, the first.
The former is a word. The latter isn't.
Not according to Merriam-Webster.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Does anyone have an opinion on "predominantly" vs. "predominately"?
Yes.
We should just pick one and use that.
"Predominately" is my fave.

I've never heard of predominately!

Yeah, me too. Everything I can find says that, more or less, "predominately" is correct, but I really want to correct it to "predominantly."
The former is a word. The latter isn't.
I do check the dictionary first before I ask stupid questions.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Van Halen 2.0's Right Now?
Thank you! I can never retain the band or the song name. I should just buy it and be done with it. Of course, I've probably had this train of thought before. I should check the iPod.
"Predominately" sounds horrible. I guess there's no reason beyond the personal to change it to predominantly, but I'd sure try and sneak the changes by.
"Predominately" is my fave.
Please stop that. You're disturbing me.
