I'm screwed, aren't I?

I guess I'm going to have to accept it. It makes no difference whatsoever that "impact" is a noun, and only an noun. Not a verb. Worse, "invite" is a verb, only a verb, and never never never never never never never never is, was, or ever will be a noun. But what I will have to accept is that creepy skin-crawl for the rest of my life, because people simply will use those words that way. Dorkfuckers.


edit: "Orientate" is not a word either. It's "orient." Back off, before I invent new epithets, insolent weasels!

I wonder about society 20 years from now. We can't fully communicate now, imagine the misunderstandings as this progresses. It makes me want to be a hermit. An armed hermit.

gafferbear has been vocal on the subject as well. And look where that's gotten him. Say, where the hell is he?

He and I are playing phone tag.

He has had a lean winter season but it is begining to get better. Computer problems have temporarily knocked him off line, but he is hoping to be back soon. He is actually talking about making it to Pennsic this year.
