Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
20 common grammar mistakes. Some are valid mistakes, some I don't get why people make, some I make myself, others I swear I've never seen, and at least one I have to say "Oh, give it up" on.
Nauseous? It's had both meanings for 100 years now. If it ever was a battle, it's OVER. Untwist your knickers.

If you're an organization of any size it should kill you in the marketplace, but that's their call, I guess.
ita !, I knew exactly which leggings you were talking about. I've been coveting the for ages.

Until she's nauseous?
