       @grammargirl I was delighted to learn where “the show has been ‘dropped’” came from. I’ve only used ‘drop’ in this way recently and I was sure it was since media streaming. Run-DMC dropped this?! So cool to know!

       @grammargirl I use that too but I can’t recall where I picked that up. I also use YT for ‘income tax’. Maybe an accounting thing?

       @grammargirl I would assume the person who gets the most out of the intro would write it. It’s how capitalism works, right?

       @grammargirl how did I not know the origins of ‘teddy bear’? Everything we say has a deeper meaning—I need to stop and reflect on how we got here, so much more than I do. Language is treasure, buried and new.

       @grammargirl last night I read that a character knew the mountainous area ‘like the back of his horse’. Mixed idiom?

       @grammargirl @ernie I decided on the new MacBook Pro 16” for screen space. Apple was clever in only releasing the new models in black. I’m graduating this year, so it’s a gift to myself. No guilt necessary here.
