		<description><![CDATA[I shouldn&#8217;t complain about toilet paper handling, as pop psychology buffs will gleefully label me anal. But I make a simple plea: Don&#8217;t load the new roll until the old roll is empty. When the roll on the wall is getting thin, I put a new wrapped roll nearby on the floor, so that no [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why is &#8220;incest&#8221; always included in the list of reasons everyone should excuse abortion? Mary is pregnant by Uncle Joe. If it&#8217;s not rape, then it must have been consensual sex. So are we saying it&#8217;s OK for relatives to have sex and then, if they get pregnant, have an abortion? Or if the reason [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I suggest we stop using the cumbersome he or she, his or her, him or her. When we speak of someone whose gender we don&#8217;t know, or it doesn&#8217;t matter, we need a pronoun that doesn&#8217;t specify gender. We already have one! They, their, them is a perfectly good and ancient pronoun referring to two [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gay marriage should not be a religious issue. It&#8217;s a basic civil right guaranteed by the Constitution. If you want a priest, rabbi or imam to marry you, good luck, but they shouldn&#8217;t be forced to do anything they don&#8217;t believe in. The civil authorities who perform marriages ought to be allowed to marry same-sex [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[People who say plaintively that in 2000 Al Gore &#8220;won the popular vote&#8221; against George W. Bush as though that meant something important &#8212; please. The nationwide popular vote in a presidential election means about as much as the total number of runs scored by each team in the World Series. If one team wins [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now that we have to dial all ten digits, we should format phone numbers as xxx-xxx-xxxx, NOT as (xxx) xxx-xxxx. And there is especially no reason to put the area code of toll-free numbers in parentheses, as (800) xxx-xxxx, as though you don&#8217;t have to dial the 800 if you live in the 800 area.

		<description><![CDATA[No, something in the news did not &#8220;reach a crescendo&#8221;! This ignorant use of the word, usually in news media, is offensive to musicians and anyone who cares about language. Crescendo is Italian for &#8220;increase&#8221; &#8212; in music it means a gradual increase in loudness, which could be from Very Soft to Somewhat Soft. If [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Everybody jaywalks. Some do it intelligently and thoughtfully, others do it stupidly and rudely. When you have the light, cars have to stop for you. But when cars have the right of way, you should not interfere with them. The good-citizen way to jaywalk is to wait for a gap in the traffic and then [...]]]></description>
