The obituary of the quondam Rebekah Coronado was interesting and sad. I agree with her that it's a challenge being a performer of "a certain age and weight."
I didn't believe it about "uppity" in 2008, and I don't believe it now. In close to seven decades on this planet, I have only heard it used in conjunction with persons of color.
"Yesterday, Merriam-Webster had a question for us: 'If YOU were in charge of the English language for a day, what is one thing you would absolutely change?'
I happened to run across the familiar confusion of heroin/heroine yesterday, prompting me to remark that I wished "heroine" were pronounced as I used to mispronounce it in childhood, hero-een (to rhyme with "Halloween") so that it'd be easier to distinguish narcotics from female protagonists.

Disagree. Not from the South, but it is(was) commonly used to describe “attitude” in all or any.
Grotesque indeed.

And here I wasted “potpourri” on a previous piece
Interesting meditations as always, Jay. Thank you.
"On X yesterday—isn’t that a somewhat brutish name for “Twitter”?"
Yes it is, so I now call it 'TwiX'. A bit better, eh?
