I hear Saturn's coming in of the noon train and he'll be gunnin' for you...

While talking with a friend from Minneapolis, whose Saturn returns in September, I realised that my Saturn is coming back in just under a year. This means that I need to use this year very wisely to get things in order, because this year, things will begin to crystalise and focus. I'd rather have this be a year of structuring and progression than a year of death and destruction.

Is it wrong that I was born in and have always lived in America, yet I have an innate tendency to spell words with the British 's' instead of a 'z'? I don't mean to exclude 'z'; I feel it's a deprived letter and should be used more. Why do I do this?!

I read that Americans anglicise words as a symptom of feelings of cultural inferiority.

You have to HAVE a culture first in order to have it be inferior. :)

"What's the difference between America and a Yogurt?

A Yogurt has a culture!"

A French Joke

Haha, nice :) I'm going to remember that one. Next time someone tries to bring up American Culture, I can say, Yogurt has more culture that America. And being here, I can claim to be an authority on the issue :P
