capitalization and its discontents: why does my word processor upper-case Zoloft but not paxil?
By Roger Parloff
“like many people, I don’t use capital letters when I type e-mail. but when I got a new computer a few months ago, it had Microsoft software that automatically capitalizes the first letters of some words. (I’m using it now.) early on, I noticed some oddities. I was writing an e-mail to a friend about the campaign-financing scandals of the Clinton administration, and I referred to a very peripheral figure named Pauline konchanalak, whose last name I inadvertently misspelled. on second reference, I happened, with equal inadvertence, to spell her name correctly. but this time the surname popped up as Kanchanalak! Microsoft knew to capitalize Kanchanalak and yet not konchanalak!”
US leaders are high priests of a low cult. I’d rather listen to Jehovah’s Witnesses or Mormons.
America is a religion
US leaders now see themselves as priests of a divine mission to rid the world of its demons

“‘The death of Uday and Qusay,’ the commander of the ground forces in Iraq told reporters on Wednesday, ‘is definitely going to be a turning point for the resistance.’ Well, it was a turning point, but unfortunately not of the kind he envisaged. On the day he made his announcement, Iraqi insurgents killed one US soldier and wounded six others. On the following day, they killed another three; over the weekend they assassinated five and injured seven. Yesterday they slaughtered one more and wounded three. This has been the worst week for US soldiers in Iraq since George Bush declared that the war there was over.”
Larry Flynt is a poor excuse for a human being. I don't care how you feel about Bill O'Reilly; wishing someone dead is awful. Furthermore, praying to God for it is blasphemous. Such a prayer coming from the man behind a smutty porn rag just makes it worse.
NATIONAL PRAYER DAY – PRAY FOR THE DEATH OF BILL O'REILLY
"HUSLTER Magazine invites you to join us in prayer. On Tuesday, August 5th at 12:45pm, we have organized a special gathering to pray to God for Fox News Channel blowhard Bill O'Reilly's death. The service will be held in Los Angeles at Cornerstone Plaza, 1990 S. Bundy Drive. Located on the corner of Bundy Drive and LaGrange Ave. DISCLAIMER: This serious gathering will truly take place, however if O'Reilly dies, it must be God's will."
Initiating Mission-Critical Jargon Reduction
By GEOFFREY NUNBERG
“Asking a business consulting firm to repair the damage business itself has done to the English language may feel a bit like entrusting the school nutrition program to a fried chicken chain. Nonetheless, since last month almost 100,000 people have downloaded a free program from Deloitte Consulting that plugs into Microsoft Word and PowerPoint and flags jargon like ‘best of breed,’ and ‘synergies’ and proposes ordinary English alternatives. The program is called BullFighter.”

I hate business-babble. It’s worse than legalese. BTW, the title was generated here.
