Loving the New “Word Crimes” Video by Weird Al—Educational and Hilarious
Word Nerds across America are laughing and sharing Weird Al’s new video, “Word Crimes.” It’s a parody of “Blurred Lines” that cleverly covers grammar mistakes, plus throws in a healthy dose of insults to keep it interesting. My fellow English majors and writers are already sharing it and laughing out loud. Thanks to my buddies…
Inoreader comes to the rescue for RSS feed readers everywhere
RSS Trauma When Google Reader shut down last July, millions of RSS feed reading folks were left in the lurch.
