Don't let this happen to you!



Drinking with penguins leads to lack of productivity and a hangover not conducive to writing. Please act cautiously around penguins. The chapter you save could be your own.

My knowledge of nautical terminology is on firmer footing than my sense of the clock.

It does put me in an eyerolling spot, though, because with very few classic sailing vessels afloat (including the replicas), they all advertise themselves as "tall ships". Most of them aren't (they're square-rigged vessels but not tall ships), and I can't always keep myself from pointing this out, which is a waste of breath.

Hee. There are definitely things that make me bust out with usually unwanted pedantry. That seems like a reasonable thing to be pedantic about.

I was happy this week to see a sign in a local cinema that said "Smart fries have less fewer calories than popcorn!" I'm not the only hyper-corrector around these parts.
