While I was doing yoga and writing a
book review this morning, John went into town to find a place that would give him a haircut
and shave his face for him. It's a good job* he did, too because his
facial stubbery was beginning to qualify as an actual beard.
*The British tend to say "good job" where we would say "good thing." I tried to find an article making mention of this, but what I found instead was
an article on Oxford's list of top ten irritating phrases. "Good job" isn't on the list, but someone brings it up in the comments....wait for it....as an annoying
American phrase. In fact, a lot of the complaints in the comments are about how Americans butcher the English language. That's why we have our own
dictionary now. It's like we're living in different countries with different cultures and different ways of expressing ourselves or something.
