What’s this recent trend to throw in any old preposition instead of the traditional one? The term has been “likely to”, as in “how likely you are to keep a resolution”, all my life, and now suddenly we have “likely of”? Where did that come from? And this isn’t just happening here. It’s everywhere. As if the purpose of a preposition is simply to indicate there’s a relationship between X and Y, but the nature of that relationship doesn’t matter. Prepositions are being stripped of specific meaning and are becoming simply markers of the fact that some sort of relationship exists. Fake language!

I hope he has a spare spleen or two in reserve.

So it just flashes some lights, then displays a zero. Or all zeros. What’s so amazing about that that people would spend real money to get it?

It could be worse. It could display a countdown timer.

Too bad the spleen factory gets to run with only 50% capacity these days.

Word of advice, kid. If you’re hoping to stay safe – stay away from Dr. Mel.

You may resolve all you wish. What will be, shall be.

Mocked by the machine. Does that thing have a spell checker in it?

He should resolve to protect his spleen this year.

The killbots might have something to say about his resolution.
