Mad as hell and not going to take it anymore (I wish.) Going out to pull up some weeds.
So funny - I thought I was the only one!
When I speak with someone who responds to something I say with "awesome!" I generally reply "You must lead a very boring life if XYZ thing puts you in awe."
Or sometimes having an exchange like this is amusing:
Them) Hello, how are you?
Me) Well, thank you.
T) Awesome!
M) No, I don't think so.
T) Huh?
M) I am well, but I don't think anyone finds me awesome.
T) No, I meant it was awesome that you were good.
M) Oh, I see. No, I do try to behave and follow the rules and to treat people with respect and generally be good but I am imperfect, certainly not worthy of your awe.
Anyway...it can be fun.
"Connected writing" - what an odd coincidence. I had never heard that term until earlier this week when in a gardening podcast an old codger said that when he went to agricultural college he suffered because he wasn't good at "connected writing". It's a perfectly sensible and descriptive term; I've just only known it as cursive.
I agree with everything you said. Well, except I question the use of "pull up some weeds". It's redundant, isn't it?
