Lightning blog

Exam tomorrow.

So busy.

Must sleep.

Must study.

Must worry about 10 million un-exam-related things.

Meanwhile, a followup on yesterday's grammar rant: "U" is not "You"!!! And in particular it's not a good idea to use it in an academic context (i.e. an answer to an exam -- yes, even a math exam -- or an e-mail to your TA).

And a Salon article on the nuances of saying "sorry." I'm not sure I agree with the precise distinction between "sorry" and "sorry if" -- or, anyway, it doesn't seem like the most precise way of saying what the author's trying to get at. But it's a good editorial anyway.
