Philosophy vs. Reality

Example: Yea, my blog traffic is at an all time high!
What? You thought “yea” was pronounced \ˈyaə\. No. That is spelled y-e-a-h.
Example: Yeah, I do hate it when people spell yea, y-a-y.

Cal Thomas on Economic Woes
Every morning when I check my e-mail, I read the Town Hall daily e-mail, which contains the links to and short excerpt from the day’s columns.
That is usually the extent of my Town Hall reading.
