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.

You're addictive?

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

Hey, welcome to Hatrack, want2write! [Wave] I think I missed your debut.

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.
