I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

Because books.

I prefer "daily life".

Always Anti-fascist!

Depends. I like "everyday" for something, well, every day, but if it were a resume or something, I'd pick "daily" A gut reaction, though.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

"la vie quotidienne"

Actually the chapter title is "la vita di tutti i giorni," which has been translated as "everyday life" but I think I would describe it as a chapter about daily life.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

What he told me (and he was German-American himself) was that there was a lot of racism in the Cincy German-American community and, at least back in the day, a lot of Nazi sympathy. But he was telling me this back in the '80s so maybe things have changed or maybe his native Cincy take on things was not in line with reality.

Well, there sure is racism in the Nati, but it doesn't seem dependent on one's roots. As for sympathizing with the Nazis, I do know that a shitton of city streets that originally had German names were re-named toward the end (or just after) WWII. So, at least outwardly, there was no love for the Nazis.

In the case of Berlin, Ga., they just changed the pronunciation from accenting the second syllable to accenting the first.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"Daily life" (now) makes me think of "activities of daily living," which is a measure for health/ability. But that's probably just me!

Daily Life seems like more of a formal, studied recitation, whereas Everyday Life seems more casual.

If that makes any sense.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Cincinnati also has one of the largest and oldest German-Jewish populations in America outside of NYC, so I'm not sure how much stock I'd put in that. (Isaac M Wise moved his congregation there in the 1850s, founded the Hebrew Union College there, etc etc. Cincy was also the site of the infamous Shrimp Incident.)
