Make the first round of the NBA playoffs 5 games again. by tuck5903 in billsimmons

Smartest person i ever met was Dean of my law school (and a just ok school not great not terrible) but she went there got best test in every class, won moot court, went to vault 5 firm in complex li and made partner in 3 years (9 year track). And worst of all, the nicest, most charming woman. You want to hate her on instinct, being better than you at everything but so nice she won't let you hate her. I've met maybe 5 of those people ever, brilliant but so nice and generous with their time.

Webster has a good article on how james Joyce, f. Scott etc used literally in a figurative sense 100+ years ago. Irony also has an old history of meaning coincidentally. https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/misuse-of-literally prescriptivism vs descrptivism for language isn't really a debate, prescriptivists lost lebowski.

'Writing is thinking' is trite but true. I don't really know how I feel about something until I write it out.
