@lowqualityfacts This makes sense since “Anakin” is derived from the ancient Sumerian word for “running pig.”

@lowqualityfacts That’s why when he recorded his music, rather than recording in stereo, he used a patented process he branded “Ster-aco.”

@lowqualityfacts They are also brilliantly adept clavichord players, but few people have them anymore, so this remains a largely hidden talent.

@lowqualityfacts I never enjoyed math. For all I know you may have sneakily slipped in an actual High Quality Fact.

@grammargirl I suspect Tolkien, a linguist, was very aware of the older meaning of “loneliness” when he called Erebor “The Lonely Mountain” in “The Hobbit.” It also adds a layer or two to Vonnegut’s novel “Slapstick (Lonesome No More!).”One of my favorite uses of an archaic possessive is in Nick Lowe’s song “So It Goes.”“And in the air there’s aftershave lotionIn the wake of a snake-hipped Persian.On his arm was a skin-tight vision.Wonder why she ain’t mine, she is his’n.”

@grammargirl From a smaller-market broadcast news perspective, we have a lot fewer eyes on any given story before it hits the air than we used to. Combined with relatively high newsroom turnover of people who don’t know the area well, old timers like me are always on the lookout for factual errors in addition to all-too-common typos.

@lowqualityfacts An 8 hour long trailer sounds like one of those Australian road trains, so I’d guess it was for a Mad Max movie,
