I'm getting really sick of looking at maps of San Francisco for writing purposes and noticing along the way that some restaurant or bar that I loved is now marked "permanently closed".

I know it's the way of things, nothing lasts forever (and particularly not bars and restaurants!). But it still keeps making me sad.

The old "make sure not to put a period on the last sentence of your IM" thing. Feels weird, but better than making people worry that I'm upset with them. #etiquette #KeepingUpWithTheTimes #StagnationEqualsDeath
@stancarey Thank you. This is encouraging me to fight my own tendency to care at all whether something's "originally" a noun or a verb. Seems like completely wasted effort, when flipping them all around has been a natural feature of the language for centuries. #learning #StagnationEqualsDeath
