Spelling and traffic??.??.99: I am afraid that "definitely" will get replaced with "definately." For the past six months I have seen people, some of whom I would not have expected, misspell this word. In most cases I have seen it in emails or on the internet. In some cases, people have misspelled it multiple times, which to me implies that it was more that just a simple typographical error. My fear is that the alternative spelling will become accepted, and eventually overturn the "correct" spelling. I will admit that even if it does switch over, it wouldn't be that big of a deal.??.??.98: This was probably one of the very first things that I really started to think about. One day, back in high school, I was walking through Wal-Mart and there were tons of people there. Not only were there way too many people, but they were all more or less wandering around in every direction and basically getting in my way A LOT. Maybe I was grumpy that day, but it really started to annoy me. And then I started thinking of how often that happens in high school, too. I can't tell you how many times I had been walking along when all of a sudden a group of people in front of me would just up and stop dead in their tracks and start talking. Or, that I would get cut off by somebody going in the other direction or what have you. So, I was in the store getting flustered and I thought that it would be a great idea if there were actual lanes painted on the floors of high-traffic areas. I think it would be absolutely fabulous if we could, at the very least, get people who are going in one direction to stay to the right of every aisle, just like on the roads. Just picture how easy it would be to navigate your local Safeway or Vons or whatever if you didn't have to maneuver your shopping cart like it was on some sort of slalom course. Just add a turnout lane in the middle and then people can stop their carts, check for oncoming traffic, and get their item and be on their way. Anything to instill some sort of order amid the supermarket chaos would be greatly appreciated. My Podcast Alley feed! {pca-70a3e948e24651de1fc02d300a93559b}
