Dear people of the internet (and also occasionally of real life),

The term for Japanese ritual suicide is harakiri. Please note how it is not homonymous with the name of the legendary Chicago baseball announcer.

Thank you, and have a nice day.

I went on a rant earlier today at work about less vs. fewer, and that triggered a rant from the guy who sits near me about further/farther.

I < 3 my coworkers.

Hm, I need to listen to that rant; I never know when to use further/farther!

It's so lovely when people are just as irritated by incorrect grammar as you are. Warm fuzzies.
