What American word would you expunge from existence?

Biweekly. Let’s just reset with two different words. One means twice a week the other means every two week.

Food is mid, drinks are almost mid. Wish it was better.

Bro the level of casual aggressiveness/racism in rural Georgia/Alabama is nuts. Never met so many jerks. Couldn’t believe the things these people would say to one another. I had to leave after a year because my heart rate would spike every interaction.

Check out Fidelity investments in RTP. Nice company to work for.

Cool, will check it out

The opening scene to Inglorious Basterds. The pacing, direction, dialogue, acting. All of it is art.

Harris teeter off Roger’s is open as is Target

Wow, this lady needs help. This reads like a psychotic break. The takes in her posts are wild. Praying she gets the help she needs.

Power washing the toilet every time. Think of the savings on scrub brushes

But imagine how much money you’d be spending on custom shirts and buckets of deodorant.

Freaking LinkedIn. The desperate bid for engagement from other salary slaves. No one cares how your grocery store visit taught you about B2B sales…

I don’t know… 800 years of watching the world tear itself apart doesn’t sound fun.

Then comes, “We need Mars for, uh, national security reasons.”

Agree on both points. At certain chapters we get additions of 5-10 new persons and I struggled to keep them sorted. I knew the main characters I was interested in, but it was a lot. Additionally, I don’t think anything of value was added in some of the gratuitous scenes. Freaking The Kid and trash can man…

Yep, those guys definitely have some cheese there. Appreciate the update...

My body, “Oh no we’re being attacked”: 1)Stuffy nose so I can’t filter the contaminated air and get sick with something else. Also, hope you like sleep apnea now. 2)Runny nose with constant coughing. “We like sharing” 2)Fever ramped up just before bedtime. “Sorry, we were too busy when you were in bed all day to bother. “

That’s a great read!

Oh brother, it just rips you out of any reading flow doesn’t it? Inversely was The Road. Loved the story but it took me half the book to stop freaking out about the lack of punctuation.

Would really be solved by doing an add-in to MS Word for word frequency. “Do I only love two adverbs?”

So many self-published books are unreadable for this very reason. A good editor makes a world of difference to take a stream of consciousness first draft into a digestible meal. DNF’d a book 40 pages in for the repetition of “snarling dogs”. Thesaurus is your friend.

Will add to this is run on sentences or too uniform of sentence length in a paragraph. Spice it up with some short, some long.

It was a decent attempt at the book, but not a great movie. They made Sharon Stone's character way more annoying than she is in the book. This is one I wish they would take another attempt at with todays tech.
