Life is better than death, I believe, if only because it is less boring, and because it has fresh peaches in it. - Alice Walker

Quote of the Day/Week/Millenium:

I would rather have a nod from an American, than a snuff-box from an emperor. ~Lord Byron

If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.

There are two types of people in this world... people who misspell words they've never seen, and people who mispronounce words they've never heard. Mispronouncers are people who read. Alot. They have learned more vocabulary by reading than by talking. They may pronounce Pinot pie-knot, but at least they can use the word in a sentence. It's one of those moments of recognition, that yes, someone other than me has the same habit, the same shortcoming. Yes, here is someone else who has spent far too many hours in the library... here is someone else like me.
