Link burn

Sandra — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 13:29:37 +0000

Again I followed a link to a blog article, only to find the article was no longer than its summary. A hundred words! A hundred words saying “Me too” about another article.

Look, don’t waste people’s time posting links to non-articles. You have my permission to use this post in full (all 60 words) as long as it’s properly attributed.

Did it again. Just had to check my word usage.

Also from Urban Dictionary:

Where do these people come from? How can they be made to go back?

Cow eyes

When I’m writing, I like to make sure I’m using a word or phrase correctly. If I don’t find it in my dictionary, I go to Google. Latest phrase checked: cow’s eyes. Not in the sense of dissection (lots of hits there!), but a particular look one person gives another.

Pain in the English gave a definition (“looking coy or docile yet clearly intending that the person looked at will find the looker attractive”) close to the meaning I understood, but I like to check more than one source. Mistake.

Urban Dictionary:

That saying — Words fail me — it’s true.
