He just turned 50 in June. Did Spiderman come out within the last 5 years?
That's three years older than Mr. Belding was when Saved by the Bell ended — College Years notwithstanding. Crazy, I know.
To be fair, it's from a glossary at the end of a novel and written from the perspective of a 14 year old narrator who likes to mispronounce words. Anyway, I also hate the word "partner" when it's used to to refer to a, er ... significant other, and although it doesn't bother me quite as much as this kid, it does annoy me more than it probably should.

It's awesome that this is what you are pissed about.

The first time I heard that name I thought it was some made up Twitter dude posting fake NBA news.

Every time I read it to myself, it comes out "Shomz Chari-ah-na-na."
Never understood why teams don't try fake punts and field goals in oreason all the time. Seems like if you know who your punter and kicker is, which most teams do, practicing fakes seems logical. Yea yea we don't want to give our playback away whatever. Practicing a basic fake seems like good strategy
I haven't watched football for 20 years but my guess is everyone is scared and no one knows what they are doing.
The distinction between less and fewer has been lost.
A class has fewer students (countable).
A glass has less water (measurable).
This distinction has been completely erased and in every single case I have heard in the past several years, everyone just always uses less. There's less students in class.
The part that annoys me is, language moves, that's supposed to happen, but my mind won't let go the prescriptive distinction so I have this bratty little scold in my head, nostalgic for lost grammar.
Less/fewer corrector for life here, not gonna let that one go.
But it was bound to become a sloppy part of English grammar, especially since you have that confusion of the word "more" doing double duty on the other end. Like if you need to draw a parallel to explain the rule to people, you have to use something like much/many instead. Which is weird, because nobody messes that up ("there's too much students").
