is Chicago the largest city in the world to not be on/near the coast of a sea or ocean?
Is it bigger than London? Moscow? Berlin? Off the top of my head.
Also, being on a Great Lake counts as a major shipping route, doesn't it?
Right. Sir. Honey.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm sending some pictures to our web designer, who designs several websites around campus. I took most of these pics myself. They're not professional quality, but I'm proud of some of them. Is is rude for me to say "I'd like these pics to be exclusive to our website, please don't use them for other sites." Especially since she has used some other pictures that she already has on my site?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I don't think it is rude at all.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I do think it's funny that what the US thinks of as "normal" annual weather is pretty much the central midwest, isn't it?
I would argue that it's the NE, actually. Midwest winters are too bitter and cold. Warm summers, beautiful autumns, lovely springs, and some snow in the winter. But I'm also willing to admit my bias since that's where I grew up.

I may have to seize the cat.
Well, we all know that's the Real America.
I thought rural North Carolina was the Real America?

Vortex, not at all, the web designer should be aware of photo rights and not assume they're for 'everything'. Especially because they're going to be used in a Very Professional website, not somebody's small store or business that wouldn't attract lawsuits for irregularities or rights grabs. As long as you're polite, I don't thing specifying how you don't want them used would be more than OK.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think David's right that NE springs are often for shit, though. And that's why I said central midwest -- not so cold in the winter, right?
Please note, Washington, DC, is the only place I've lived out of the northeast, so I am not speaking from any experience of elsewhere, really.
