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.

Mmm... forbidden donut.

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.

Be proud; you've made a difference in the world! o/\o

[adelagia.livejournal.com]

LOL! Philosophical man, your husband.
