I think the language issue is overstated, count me in the George
Carlin camp. I like the English language, and I choose which words
have power over me :)

Other subjects come up on the list have a greater tendency to raise my
hackles, but as the list is US centric I accept it and try to enjoy
the irony.

All in all I think the list works pretty darn (sic) well. I'm fine
with the idea of an extended Fryeday, and I would like to propose
another addition: Vendor's day.

How about once or maybe twice a month we have a day that vendors,
private or commercial, can advertise their wares? Or is this too
restrictive?
