Day 84

Friday, March 25:

OMG! Oxford English Dictionary adds new words

For whatever reason, the dictionary is adding "FYI, "OMG" and "LOL" to its vast listings.   Does that mean it's technically allowed in high school essays?

Hispanic population exceeds 50 million, firmly nation's No. 2 group
It reminds me of a Paul Rodriguez joke from over 20 years ago.  "You're in America now!  Speak Spanish!!!"  Now, if the Muslim community starts to focus on us... oops, did I just say that?   ;)

    You got to be freaking kidding me. The "words" could even be correct now, but are definitely informal.
