learn-a-little saturday!

good morning, reeds, and welcome to another issue, episode, installment, or post (whatever suits your fancy) of tiny damaged notions.

do you know what today is? it's "learn-a-little saturday"!

today, i'm getting a haircut. in reality, that means i'm getting several hairs cut. however "haircut" is a noun which implies this in its meaning. therefore, when people say to you "no, you're getting your hairs cut!" as a joke, you can tell them to grab a dictionary and shut the hell up! "i'm" is a contraction expressing subject & the 1st person singular present indicative of "be." "to get" is the verb, "a" is a cute little indefinite article, and "haircut" is the noun to which the verb applies. it's a perfectly logical sentence. hooray for syntax & semantics working side-by-side! what a kick-ass duo.

tonight i am also attending a halloween party. this means that me & several friends will be pretending we're people or things we're not while we ingest alcohol. i know what you're thinking, and no--i'm not just going to a club.

the similarities are striking, but the differences lie in the fact that i'll actually be enjoying myself around this group of phonies.

that's all for this educational post. this is your pilot of the reed-5000 wishing you all a swell saturday upon exiting.
