Quote from: Jane on September 12, 2023, 01:01:18 PMThe definition of revert is "return to (a previous state, practice, topic, etc.)."Can someone please tell me why it is now common for reporters/writers to say revert back instead of simply saying revert?Whatever the reason, it's probably the same as why some people now say "based off of" (which makes no sense) instead of "based on," which is grammatically correct.

Or "on set" instead of "on the set."
Two of those things I can't stand:"Based off" instead of "based on", and "based out of" instead of "based in". I originally would hear the latter from salespeople in the industry I worked in. "My company is based out of Denver." No sir, actually, it's based IN Denver. You're welcome.

The "glee club" only sings one song, and it's only two pages long, so it shouldn't take very long at all to go through it.Have fun at both rehearsals.

They're not tacos, but chili cheese hand pies.

Quote from: elmore3003 on September 12, 2023, 12:55:15 PMI spoke to Joshie, who's very happy I postponed since he's worried about our finishing up Once Upon A Mattress on time. Then I sent Dr Kassipidis' surgery scheduler an email asking if I might book the last week of December or the first week of January for the surgery. Now I wait.At lunch, Josh and DR Elmore were talking a little bit about Mattress and I innocently asked why there was so much mystery surrounding the orchestration, whereupon Josh launched into a list of reasons and things to consider that was fairly mindboggling. I would of course have expected that from the DR, so it was fascinating to hear that kind of discussion from the adopted son.
