new thread title, people! We only have 11 posts left!

There were some funny suggestions earlier in the thread but I can't remember what they were. Wasn't there something about praying for Bono's pants?

Can someone explain this to me?

uh, it's like if I were to tell you I love The Beatles - my favourite songs are Free As A Bird and Real Love.

I actually would have been surprised that she knew those two songs - they're relatively obscure in the "casual U2 fan" realm, I think.

Pretty sure 18 was the only thing she owned of theirs.

are you coming to the chicago shows?

From what i can see now for the 10-day forecast, it's supposed to be upper 60s and chance of showers. I'd say you could do jeans or shorts and a tee shirt, but maybe a jacket for night? Depending on if you think 60s and possibly humid is "cool" or "zomg boiling hot."

I've never found a satisfactory answer for this question, but I'm goin to keep asking: why is it (supposedly) grammatically correct to use "an" before words that start with H? The H is pronounced, so it's not like it's a pseudo-vowel or anything.

"An historic" .... that's always really bugged me.

That always irked me too. I've still not found an acceptable answer - probably because there isn't one I'd agree with. "a" historic makes you sound like a Neanderthal, "an" historic makes you sound like, I dunno...a douche. That's probably why I always "fucking" before all words starting with H preceded by an indefinite article. Less thinking that way, eg: "This is a fucking historic event".
