Wow, even I think that's a little over the top, and I am a staunch advocate for proper grammar and language.

So when you trendys ascribe the word "epic" to banal things like the Tron poster (not even the entire movie, just the poster), and children's games like "duck duck goose," you cheapen the word and water it down so it just becomes a sound you make, like a grunt when you approve of something. And it's not just used for approval, it's also used to describe minor disappointments, like having to restart a DVD because it skipped. Now every minor inconvenience is an "EPIC FAIL." And if it's cool, it's not just cool but an "EPIC WIN." And for the record, fail is a verb, and is something you do, like fail at English. The act of failing is "failure," and is a noun. People can be failures, but they can't be "fails." That doesn't make sense. So when you say "epic fail," what you really mean is "epic failure."

I think Heather may be seeing the world through Stoops colored glasses right now. Even still, she gives Gruden a 10% chance.

Then again, this morning she said something along the lines of "Yes, there's a chance for Gruden. Then again, there's a chance we have a blizzard this morning."

I as most people in this thread know have been very sceptical about all this but I trust the insiders(even though I am taking them to task about Ainge) more than I do those 3.

The biggest news to me is hart isn't using a search firm. That's huge news imo

Boss isn't coming in today. Should make the day easier now that I don't have to minimize the screen every time my door opens.

Even Bruinvol thinks you're excessively anal.

I think some forget the fact that for the most part the "insiders" are over the age of 40 and not some kids trying to start something that isn't true. If something happens and Gruden deal falls thru (which at this time is not the case) I will not be changing my name on here or run away from my stance on this.

Don't be mad because I dropped some proper English knowledge on you. It's ok. I can see why you're so upset. I would be to of I were you.
