I'm listening to THIS CHRISTMAS. It's so nice to hear an orchestra! Not to mention fine voices and great songs.

Or "deboned." As opposed to "boned."

As in, "That thar chicken was deboned."

OK, you got me on that one.  You would not ask if the fish was deboned?
://grammarist.com/usage/bone-vs-debone/

You wouldn't want the bones removed from a fish before cooking. Bones are where the flavor is. Anyway, I guess I was taught that by a snooty, language-is-frozen person, who would not realize that after 50 years of usage, a word can change.

The other day, a woman was complaining about the Washington Post using "gift" as a verb. It's been used as a verb since the 17th century. If we've been using "gift" as a verb for 400 years, then, by gum, it's a verb.

Been listening to Hey, Mister! Thinking Tractor? It's a collection of the cast albums of three industrials for Ford Tractor. Fun, cheesy.

Speaking of enemies, the CD of The New Yorkers just received a lousy Amazon review from a William Oser, who has already panned my recordings of Dearest Enemy and, by inference, Eileen.  He claims to have done a great many things, from acting to working with John McGlinn, but I can find nothing to support his claims.  I believe he's a total fraud.

How rude! >:(

Our condo monthly news letter arrived today and I cringed when I read "revert back".  I asked Keith and was pleased he too cringed.  I think it is worse than when someone says PIN number figuring they don't know the N stands for number.  Then Keith said he was about to comment to me last night, while watching The Marvelous Mrs Maisel, that Midge said Irregardless.  But then Suzie corrected her that is isn't a word & all was right in the world ;)

 

Ask Keith how he feels about people referring to a book’s ISBN number...

I currently WORK with people who say "ISBN number." ::)

It seems in my fervor to obtain the NewYorkers I accidentally bought it twice.

The second copy arrived today.

It’s free to a good home, let me know if you want it

I laughed and said,” where do you think you’re going buddy?”

He looked stricken then kind of laughed and looked embarrassed
