If a post gets your blood up, read it again. Carefully. Just to be sure.
Yep. Posts don't generally get my blood up, but with my ADHD I often misread or miss portions of a post as I read it. So I read it twice before responding, and then a third time before I click submit. I've scrapped many posts before submitting due to that third read. Even then I still sometimes get it wrong.
 

One I have enjoyed explaining to German speakers, since it's also a common mistake in parts of the United States, is that "Losing My Religion" is not a song about religion or becoming atheist or anything like that. "Losing my religion" is just an idiomatic expression in the Southern US for getting so angry that you want to curse or act in way unbecoming of a Christian. R.E.M. being a band from Georgia would know this.
I didn't know that! Kind of misleading for the music video to use so much religious imagery, then...
 


If you grew up in the 80s, all those cartoons you loved were just cynical efforts to exploit your naiveté and sell you toys.
