Donna,
I suppose if I said "You go, girl" you might interpret it two different
ways. (I mean it the good way - "I agree with you and am rooting for
you.") I write straight stuff all day (the grant requests I mentioned)
so I need to get idiotmatic enat (which Pittsburghers think means "and
that" but I use to mean "every now and then")
Is that "clar"enat? I really do awful puns, too. <]:o)
