Various and Sundry Thoughts

Here are some thoughts I jotted down that aren’t quite sufficient for their own individual blog posts. If you’re the type of person who likes Twitter, pretend each of these is a tweet.

  • I imagine that in the future, the phrase “in a crowded theater” won’t make sense to a lot of people.
  • An “adverb” is a word that modifies a verb. Why isn’t a word that modifies a noun called an “adnoun”? The “jective” part of adjective makes no sense.
  • To paraphrase Margaret Thatcher: being a Christian is like being a lady – if you have to tell someone you are, you aren’t.
  • It’s a bad idea to give magazine subscriptions as gifts. Sure, it’s nice at first, but when renewal time comes around it never goes well.
  • They should go ahead already and change the official name of Myanmar to Myanmar Formerly Burma. It’s always written as such in any articles these days anyway.

Fun fact: I remember writing a report back in elementary school on a country, and I chose Burma for some reason. Got most of my information out of the World Book Encyclopedia we had.

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
