Java Jive
I really enjoyed "Java Jive" by Dave Barry. I especially enjoyed the part at the end, where he gave examples of horiffic language errors that readers had submitted to him. I wanted to add another that I heard between classes the other day: "I might, probably will, most definetely come see you tonight." The funniest part about this is that she said all of this in one breath, it was not like she was trying to decide whether or not to come see her friend tonight.
I also wanted to comment on Starbuck's use of language. I think that their size names are a huge indication of our supersized culture. One would expect "tall" to be a large, yet in our society "tall" us a "small". Things are always getting bigger and bigger!! (Just a random thought!)
