Gonna b so happy 2 learn,[url=http://nikefree.mobilejeti.com]nike free run[/url]
to be used by people who mispronounce my last name as "Merffert." One reader wrote that her pet peeve is leaving out the first "r" from library to say "libary." Another reader offered a theory about other places the missing "r's" may have gone.
She wrote, "gonna b so happy 2 no that I found some of your rejected 'r's.' A dear friend who lives in Phoenix called me a couple of days ago. She is from 'Muhzzurrah' originally. She mentioned some things she'd been busy with that day, among which she 'warshed' some clothes and was going to cook some Italian 'squarsh.' So there you have it! The 'r's' weren't so much rejected as they were reassigned. BTW, in case we don't communicate again before then, as my friends and I used to say once we outgrew Valentine cards, Happy VD!" (I called one of my children to find out that BTW is "by the way," and I assumed that VD is Valentine's Day!)
I guess if I learn one texttalkunword a week, I will ultimately be able to form a sentence. I've studied five languages, and trying to learn another is tedious. It seems as if this was a week when everything I attempted was more complicated than it needed to be, and a new language was a small part of the grand scheme of challenges destined to come my way.
Technology usually gives me a hard time. Twice this week I tried to navigate the sea of information on the Internet and succeeded, so chalk up a win for me.
Then I tried to fill my gas tank as I normally do but at a different location from my usual one. I inserted my credit card, gave my ZIP code, chose the cheapest gas. But before I could start pumping, the little window asked if I wanted a 5 percent discount. I indicated "yes" and then learned it was not available for my credit card. I punched "Cancel." Again, before I could pump the gas, the window asked if I wanted an additive that was good for my car. Ever the optimist, I punched "Yes," and then the machine wanted to know which additive. How would I know that? My usual gas pumps don't offer additives, and if they did, I still wouldn't know which one. I punched "Cancel" again and finally got to fill up while I longed for the days BSS (Before SelfServe).
