@michaelegriffin @LizJWalter New Yorker here. I’ve heard and used “filthy dirty” (and filthy rich) all my life.

[Carol-June Cassidy @CarolJCassidy]

@LizJWalter Actually both are used in US English. Certainly on the E coast. Both are in ‘filthy’ examples in M-W Dic.

@LizJWalter @tonythorne007 I believe [slang] ‘pattern up’ = pull yourself together. You hear some good ones!

[Carol-June Cassidy @CarolJCassidy]

@KateWoodford2 Same here in NE US. There seems unspoken social pressure to use euphemism. I’ve noticed growing use of ‘transition’, which can be baffling!

@LizJWalter @tonythorne007 Um. You know what WAP stands for, yes?

@katieemorann No. No no no.

@katieemorann @AuthorStew Hand set type often had extra added space, especially at the end of a sentence. When typewriters became common, typists used 2 spaces at the end of sentences to mimic that extra typeset space. The practice ended mid 20th century with modern printing and typing technologies.

@PDQuinnSciFi @katieemorann Chicago began recommending one space after a period beginning with the 15th edition in 2003. The current edition is the 17th.

@paulinegraham I tip, and tip well. A really good hair dresser is worth it to me. (Esp as I’ve sometimes left 4 or 5 months since the last c&c.)

@lynneguist @NewStatesman I do see AmE use of “hi-viz,” e.g., in ads.

@Copyediting, this cell numbers claim -- around since 2005 -- is not true. Fact checking? Try FTC consumer Q&A, Q10.
