Update: I saw Pink Pantser AND Black Polo today. Both on the same day. And she was in pink. And he wore the black polo.
In other news, I think someone is stealing my clothes? Because I seem to have less and less to choose from every morning. There was a moment today where I was just thinking 'PAJAMA PANTS. THEY'RE CLEAN. WHO WOULD DARE OBJECT?'
Everyone. Everyone objects to adults wearing pajamas in public. Especially to work. Sigh. So bossy.
Also, I need to talk to you about people who do not understand the function of quotation marks. I was cleaning out my inbox recently and found a series of emails from grown up people who presumably are college educated who chucked willy nilly quotation marks into their email. As in:
"Sounds good." I'll get on that project immediately.
What... are you trying to impart here? Are you being ironic? Does it not really sound good? Or perhaps someone else thinks it sounds good, and you want me to know that YOU don't think it sounds good at all. It's the other guy. Or maybe you're quoting someone famous? Remember that time that Shakespeare said it sounded good. He just said it SO WELL that we might as well just quote him. The Bard strikes again.
(On an aside... how would the the Bard say it sounded good? Imma get back to you on that.)
People also air quote-unquote wrong all the time. We should follow up with that.
And for your amusement, I found an entire blog about this topic: http://www.unnecessaryquotes.com/
