I Stand Corrected
Thursday, March 27, 2008
It appears that I was wrong.
There may, indeed, be an acceptable use of the phrase "pregnant person":

About Me
Likes:
- The Husband. AKA "The Silver Fox."
- The Girl. Soaring and plunging along the rollercoaster that is adolescence.
- The Boy. Sweet. Lazy. Sulky. Often all at once.
- Semicolons.
- The first cup of coffee. And the second. And the third.
- Jesus. The Sermon on the Mount one. Not that other one.
Dislikes:
- Going to the movies and sitting next to the Twitter-er. Or The Explainer. Or the diabetic with the automatic insulin pump that hisses in the seat next to me during the intense scenes.
- When people use their iPads as cameras. Or iPods.
- Eating on the bus. Especially cereal.
- The apostrophe used to make a singular noun that ends in "s" plural.

Well, don't you feel foolish now?
Ha! I totally thought of you when I read that article, too. Because of the whole "pregnant person" diatribe, not because you're a trannie. Because you're not a trannie. I know you know that, I just wanted you to know that I know that. My, this has really gone off the rails, hasn't it?
Ah, yes, but last I heard PM was sure spirin' to be a trannie.
I am officially dying of laughter.
See, and this is what I get for trying to shine the light of proper usage of English into the dark corners of this ignorant world.
Harumph.
Someday, when I'm the world's acknowledged most important grammarian, you'll be sorry you laughed at me.
(Hmm. I wonder which would bring more mockery: being the world's most important grammarian or being a would-be transvestite. Somehow I suspect the former.)
