I do not know who this person is, but in that context, he must think he's So Terribly Clever and Making a Witty Point.

Jeff and I used to write in Palatino, and that's also what I got my tattoo in after he passed.

Not quite sure why it's /this/ consternating. In my family, it's normal to middle-name people after great-aunts. I've got a cousin middle-named something extremely similar. Not that it's great to have things in common with Sydney Sweeney, but not that surprising.

I remember one of my scholarships was based on a standardized test, and I was the only one out of that year's half a dozen winners whose parents spoke English as a first language.

The bar is so low. I remember explaining to an early-20s youngster that it's okay to change ones pronouns before one can afford medical treatment. Apparently, the world had been telling the kid differently.

I must admit I'm fond of the phrase 'As American as fortune cookies.' Because they were invented by Asian-Americans. Asian-American cuisine is both ::gasp:: Asian cuisine and American cuisine.

The Cajun and Creole versions of crawfish etouffee are different. Neither is more real or worthy except in terms of which someone likes more, often because it's what their great-grandmother made. The origin is from a cultural mishmash, because /of course it is/.

I remember the two best journalism professors at my undergrad: one had a PhD and one had only a Bachelor's degree. The latter said of the former, "It's the discipline he studied, but it's the craft to which I apprenticed."
