grammarwomanIt's Friday! I'm basically caught up with stuff! So, some links...
Bringing back 'they' as an all-purpose pronoun. PLEASE YES. As an occasional writer of user documentation, I hate the awkward acrobatics involved in trying not to use 'he' or 'she'. Because I really hate defining the gender as one or the other when it's unspecified. It's a thing.
I saw a rash of cool icons recently pop up on my flist, then someone finally clued me in: Mad Men Yourself. What I love best about this is that you can pick a person of size. Like, wow! Zaftig as a choice! *two thumbs up* Plus, the end result is kind of an uncanny resemblance.
A free e-reader from B&N. Not that I've tried it yet, but I intend to, especially considering the freebie books they're offering as well.
Dr. Horrible for $7.42 and free shipping. At last, it shall be mine.
Hmmm...I could have sworn I had other things. Ah well. Onto the weekend!
