Aug. 11th, 2010 04:44 pm1. Dear Menlo music festival lecturer, the phrase "it is what it is" is really annoying, and it's particularly egregious of you to say, "This recording is from the 1920s, so the sound quality is what it is."
2. Dear USA Today, when you're running an article about the achievements and legacy of someone who just died in a plane crash, don't title the jump, "Sen. Stevens' impact."
3. Dear Mercury News, who's Hugh? "Hugh ice island breaks off Greenland glacier" read the headline in some copies of this morning's paper. He disappeared from the later editions, so we may never know.
4. Dear packers and movers who schlepped* my mother's stuff last week, why did you leave a moving box full of crushed soda cans and water bottles that she'd never seen before in her new storage locker? At least it wasn't something decomposable.
*"schlepped" is in the spell-checker. Oy. ("Oy" is not in the spell-checker.)
