Well, this is disguised as an article about the most frequently used words in the English language. The writer is so right about the word yes--everyone says absolutely now for the affirmative--and, quite frankly, I am tired of hearing it--and, yes, I am tired of catching myself saying it automatically (see Noam Chomsky for the theoretical reason) ---and I don't even like the smug elitist body language one portrays when he or she responds to some interview or even to a regular real-time question with, "Oh, absolutely!" It's as if he or she is all knowing and so optimistic and certain about life--which is at the moment and in many cases--totally unpredictable! Oh well, I guess I have cabin fever already due to Ike--whom I absolutely don't like! LOL. Where is your sense of humor everyone? Okay, I guess I will continue to ride out Ike (no, I am absolutely not in Galveston; however, I am only about 50 miles from there and yet I live in an area where the residence have been ordered to stay home and off the freeways and other roads to make room for the people who are in immediate harms way not to mention the seek and rescue heroes who will be put in harms way to try to save the thrill/kill seekers who absolutely refuse to follow orders that may otherwise ultimately save them and the rescue people. Ike is huge and he is dangerous...What me worry? (see Mad for the source...hehehe)
