Happy First Contact Day!
I think I can proudly say that I have never worn a baseball-style cap backwards.
Sometimes I find out what’s happening in pop culture from shows like SNL. I learned that there’s this thing where guys of *average height* and below are called “short,” as in “short kings.” It’s kind of supposed to be a positive, but calling what may be the mode of heights short seems ridiculous.

I think it’s dumb and weird when announcers, usually in sports, say, “will this happen? Will that happen? We will see.“
Duh.
It’s all in the set up. If instead, they said, “it will be interesting to see if this happens or that happens.” Then they wouldn’t feel the need to respond to their own questions without answering them.
I watch too much sports and have too many opinions about their commentary.
I used to think that people would use apostrophe + s less incorrectly if the apostrophe/single quote key was harder to access, but that seems to not be the case if they’re posting from their mobile devices.
(Just saw “movie won Oscar’s” for instance)
I still say “en cee double a”
People like to talk about themselves being old and thus not being able to do things, aches and pains, etc. I refuse. I just do what I want and if I have difficulty, I work on it. I see many people older than I am doing great and looking great and don’t see why I can’t do the same
Texas is 268,596 sq mi, 29,145,505 people as of 2020, El Paso is 743 miles from here (Houston) while San Diego is 725 miles from El Paso, yet people describe us as a monolith, as if we all agree on everything. I guess it’s easy to make us “the other” that way, but it’s incorrect.

Volkswagen Bugs can swim?
