I'm glad others noticed the viola. I laughed as well. My immediate reaction was "what does a viola have to do with this?"

Does it start at 10:30 or 11? Yesterday's post was confusing in that it said both times.
I hope it's at 11 as previously announced. I want to participate!

One of the best decisions I made after jailbreaking my iPad was to remove autocorrect. It's awful.

Sarah Palin aside, the argument is completely reasonable. English is _very much_ a living language, and more important than any experts is the people who use it.
This has been the case ever since the American Revolution, when the founders decided that English shouldn't be aristocratic but rather populist, making spellings easier in the process.
Words no longer need to be officially 'coined' in order to be added to the language. If people are using a word, and it makes sense (i.e. people understand the meaning it attempts to convey), it's a word.
Thus all of those are valid verbs. Look at the list, some of them are way more everyday than others. Try to tell the modern English speaker that 'contact' or 'host' aren't verbs. That's ridiculous.

Zero Hour.
I'd like the Buckyballs if I can pay the extra (is this allowed? - Thanks for the idea, parker)
If not, then I'd like the Arrogant Bastard Tumbler.

Wow.
I agree that fake nails are a mega-turnoff, but seriously, these are pretty fantastic.

This is a pretty cool article. I wish you had provided a quote from the source as well.
