Today I learned +

The other day, I watched a video describing the difference between 'I apologize' and 'I'm sorry', and I learned that apology came from apologia, or more of a defense/explanation of one's actions.

I'd like to apologize for Trappedslider for his memes.

That's why the term "apologist" is not usually used in a positive way.

For those who don't already know, here's something you can say that you learned today:

Canadians are world famous for saying "Sorry" so frequently, because it's true. Some years back the Federal Government passed a law that states saying "Sorry" cannot be taken as a legal admission of guilt.

Well, yesterday. The existence of the Wold Newton Family. (Archie Goodwin's proposed connection to Travis McGee came up in a short blip in the 2nd issue of the Rex Stout Journal from 1979). There are several characters in there that I've never read. (And I am not a fan of the Wolfe being a Holmes theory, for example).

The Wold Newton stuff is at least amusing. I saw some attempt to extend it into the future to engulf some of E.E. Smiths characters at one point.
