Help me! I'm getting too hooked on the freakin' internet. What can I do? A therapist told me to control myself, but I don't know how.

Unless your the type of person who emails a porn magazine for help with your relationship, this is probably the wrong crowd to ask.

Sorry.

Taal, at least he didn't say he was "nauseous."

CT! Yes! I hate when people misuse that word that way -- but you probly hear it way more than I ever did (although I taught HS girls, so maybe not).

Yeah, I know that many dictionaries in the past 5 (10?) years have added the second usage. [Razz]

Dreadful. Almost as bad as "hopefully," although I'm slowly getting used to that one.

The moral of the story? Misuse a word often enough, and it will become accepted usage. And grammar/usage cops everywhere will cry. [Wink]

I just think it's sweet that want2write wants to write.
