If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
Good post! I have a random question for you. How do you get your blog indexed by bing? I have a related web blog.
Hmm it appears like your site ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any recommendations for rookie blog writers? I’d really appreciate it.
Hey would you mind letting me know which web host you’re working with? I’ve loaded your blog in 3 completely different browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot faster then most. Can you suggest a good hosting provider at a honest price? Thanks, I appreciate it!“Superior”is a wobbly word.
Opinion, Politics, language, thought, words, writing
I was in the city the other day, in the course of my monthly pilgrimage to the temples of moneys (banks) to render obeisance (debts) as befits a humble servant of The System.
But in the bank precisely, there was a vicious little argument. The details are not relevant other than one party felt slurred by the other: it was a matter of who was superior Not race on this occasion - though God knows that issue has caused enough grief - they were merely from different countries, perhaps even different parts of the same country. A policeman stopped the matter with quiet efficiency and that was the end of it. But the queue was long and there was much time for thought, and here was was food for it as well.
What an unfortunate word. A superior wine: that I can understand. A superior strategy even when it isn’t. “Superior”" is working as an adjective. Superior, by itself as a noun, is wobbly. And it’s almost invariably a “first person” noun, plural or singular. A lousy noun too.
“I am superior“. So are “we”. “You” manage pretty well. But “them“? “They” do the best they can, poor things; not much going for them.
At what? It has to be qualified.
My dog is a superior tracker with his superior sense of smell and a fish is superior to me at living under water.
Superior by itself, without qualification, is usually nonsense. I’ll be picking on a few more of these words from time to time. I thought this one was a good one to start with.
