livingdebFrom Language Transfer I learned that new verbs in Spanish are now given -ar endings. (The -er and -ir endings are relics from the past.)
Examples:
* googlear or guglear - to google
* tuitear - to tweet
* facebookear (no clue how to spell it) - to facebook
Blog Post of the Day - Grumpy Rumblings' This Thanksgiving: Remind People About ACA Sign-ups - "And maybe explain that the silver plan prices are going way up but the bronze and gold plan prices aren’t." The saddest part is in a comment from an earlier related post, Ask the readers: How to get the word out about ACA enrollment?: 'So many people have said “But I thought Trump killed Obamacare” and then been delighted to know that they can still get insurance.'
Comic of the Day Questionable Content's Laying Down the Law - from a story line that starts at Call for Assistance. In an era of insincere apologies, it's kind of refreshing to see someone erring the other direction. "I'm looking for an apology, not a compensatory drowning."
