Even The Wolf likely can't clean up Harvey Weinstein's pending troubles

Fiance is a man. Fiancee is a woman.

It's one of my favorite mixups. I see it all the time and I laugh every time.

 

Ah, so it is a "Ty's a dumbass" joke. Those are my fianceE's favorite.

 

I took seven years of French — a complete waste of my time throughout high school and most of college — just so I wouldn't make that mistake.

 

Yep, @Hermes, that's why I know it.

 

Now do alumni/alumna.

 

I'm in favor of just calling all of them an alum or alums. Fight me.

 

We have a big case going on out here with an all-girls high school.

The news stories all say alumnae. I'm like "Fuck yeah!"

Of course I'm also driving around hearing that G-Eazy/Halsey song "Him & I" and I am going bonkers. I want to organize a boycott.

 

I suppose it would have been hard to find anyone else willing to take to job at this point.

 

It could be worse. My wife worked as a copy editor/typesetter/QC in print for the forty years I've known her. Let her see text with bad kerning, even a couple of picas worth... hoo boy. She makes ordinary Grammar Nazis look like Hitler Youth.

 

Apologies if this is a d_b, but in keeping with the UConn field hockey player accused of stealing makeup:

California assemblywoman and #MeToo champion accused of groping

 

A couple of picas is a shit-ton. You mean a couple of points?
