I’m curious how it’s being looked at locally. Are your sport talk guys rolling there eyes saying “WTF?”, or is it closer to “hell yeah, it’s about time!”?

As crazy as the notion seems, there's a good chance The Ohio State University will succeed - but most likely in a quite narrow context...

[edit] Unlike "utility" patents - the ones that create significant advancements in society - "design" patents can be given for things as trivial as a new shade of color applied to an existing item...

At least the nature of this fetish resolves the question of whether they should procreate.

Should trademark the cliche word "Like". Drives me completely mental, not in a good way, hearing people speak and use the word over and over and over and over...

Superfluous waste. My LIT 101 professor is probably turning over in her grave.

"Like", IMO, is right us there with the PITA, "Literally". Geez...

And in the other corner,

Though for my part I agree that there are more more articulate ways of expressing such modulations and gradations. But who has time to think before speaking, it seems.

Sorry for, like, going OT. [emoji6]

 

[Tobor_8thMan]

Total BS. The writer of the article "In Defense of “Like” obviously has some mental defect.
