Literally? Literally.

"People tune into me for escapism. When you went to the Glow in the Dark Tour, you were literally transported to another planet."

-Kanye West

Um, NO WE WEREN'T. But I bet he thinks we were.

Another world-rocker

Motocross?

I always thought it was MOTORCROSS.

Weird.

'An open letter to...'

Isn't an open letter just...a letter? Why is that phrase even used? Someone care to pontificate?

This rocks my world

Wait wait WAIT.

Toe the line?

I always thought it was TOW the line.

Trippy.

Also just learned what an eggcorn is. Love!

An exercise in brevity

Before: "All in all, the number of doors will add up to about 300 in the U.S."

After: "There will be about 300 U.S. doors."

I am copy editor; hear me fix your shit!

Thanks for letting me know.

Even if it's cute, I will never buy a notebook that is printed with the word NOTEBOOK. Because duh.

Same goes for address books that are labeled ADDRESS BOOK. Hate that. Also, it's not 1996 — so it's like, hi, welcome to Google Calendar and/or a Blackberry.

We also have a 240-point sign in our apartment lobby that says LOBBY. It's like a YOU ARE HERE sticker, except irrelevant.

That's all for today.
