I think I need my immune system upgraded (Dec 12 2003 10:18 GMT) - For the second time in four weeks, I've got flu-like or cold-like symptoms. Three weeks ago, I had massively draining sinuses and serious difficulty breathing, but no aches or pains or sore throat (except from the drainage). It passed in about four days using only over-the-counter medication, but instead of actually resting, I kept trying to work. I didn't get much work done, of course, and then when it had passed, I had to work through a scheduled vacation to catch up, and was almost too burned out to do it. In other words, I just blew it from top to bottom. |

Dictionaries reviewed (Dec 12 2003 10:18 GMT) - I am a dictionary geek, as most who have written with me can tell you, and I'm not surprised to see my two favorite dictionaries at the top of these rankings. However, I've always thought of Merriam-Webster's as "prescriptive," not "descriptive," because it doesn't include many of more modern misuses. American Heritage is descriptive to me. My formative definition was an argument with Dave Lyons over the word "stupidest," which he insisted was a real word, and I said was not (it should be "most stupid"). Merriam-Websters 9th Collegiate agreed with me, American Heritage 3 with Dave. |
