Infinite Justice, indeed!  I'm sorry, but I am literally Rolling On The
Laughing Out Loud.

Does anyone else take issue with the indiscriminate use of "literally"
that is rampant in the public media lately?

You know I do!  But it's probably best not to get me started.  I would leave
this particular case alone anyway because it IS possible that Richard actually
WAS rolling on whatever he was rolling on LOL-- I suppose grown men have done
stranger things....

(I still say that ellipses occurring at the end of sentences take three dots
for the ellipsis and a fourth for the period.  But then some would say ellipses
should be reserved for quotations....)

(...) I suppose "Operation Give Peace A Chance" would be more to your liking? Of course the designation is hyperbolic, and of course it's over-the-top, and of course it's propaganda-ish. That's the whole point of giving the operation a designation. (...) (23 years ago, 20-Sep-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
