PrayingBrothers and sisters, I am asking that you please take a little time out of your day to think of my daughter's good friend Ellie. She's been friends with her since they were 3 and they are 20 now. Ellie was recently diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma and her PET scan revealed it is already at Stage 4 and has spread to her spine, arm and leg. This young lady has been to my home many times and my daughter has also been to hers. Her family are great people and this is devastating and heartbreaking for all of us. Anything positive you can send will be mightily appreciated. She is at St. Judes, so we know she will get the best care possible. Thank you.

My 15yo was showing me some random social media post and because I'm the kind of putz I am, I commented on the frequency of "whoa" being misspelled as "woah".
She wasn't having it. I showed her "whoa" in the dictionary and the lack therein of "woah". She said, "I don't care. Look," and proceeded to show me example after example of online woahs, as if that settled the issue.
That's when I realized she was right, for all practical purposes. In her world accuracy and correctness are negligible crowdsourced assumptions that take precedence over stale old boomer dogmatism. And English being the living language it is, a decade from now "woah" will be shown in the dictionary as an alternate spelling of "whoa".
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm definitely behind. Not @VolsDoc81TX behind, but behind.
