Or just the language usage Nazis.
9 Words That Don't Mean What You Think.
I'll admit (because, in the eternal words of Annie Lennox, "Would I lie to you?"), I'm guilty of using irregardless, probably in the last week or so. Looks like from now on, I'll think before I speak--novel idea, I know.
Any words on the list you use incorrectly?
In other news, I got a notice in my mailbox at school about a new organization for trans-awareness at UT called Gender Defiant. They're showing the documentary Southern Comfort next Tuesday night. The flier says the film is "about the life of Robert Eads, a 52-year-old female to male transsexual who lives in the back hills of Georgia." It sounds really interesting, but I have class when they're screening it. Anyone seen it?
AND, it's *snowing* in Knoxville. Yesterday the temp was in the high sixties. Try and tell me global warming is a myth.

Oh, that's a pretty good documentary. I saw it at a film festival a few years ago. I think you'll find it very interesting -- I remember some of its images and characters quite well, and I think it has affected the way I think about trans folks.
Recommended!
It was just a few years ago when I learned the truth about irregardless and stopped using it. On another note, I was amused by your link. I am now a firm believer that breasts can read.
Oh my god, Amanda. I did not even notice the breasts all over the page (gee, I wonder why). I think I'm going to have to edit this blog entry so I don't look anti-feminist. I'm so oblivious sometimes.
That Cat Power song is called "How Can I Tell You."

I read online that apparently there's a new covers album in the works. Fucking brilliant! Her first is one of my all time favorite albums, no kidding. Do you have it? If not, let me know. Do you have The Greatest? What do you have?
Ah ha! January 22! New album on Matador!
