Pet Peeve of the Day
well...technically now there's two...i spent about 20 minutes typing up my pet peeve, went to publish the post, and blogger deleted it. i HATE blogger. it loses way too many of my posts.

anyway, on to the actual pet peeve...

it's windCHILL people, not winSHIELD.
i can't stand it when people, like the dj i heard on the radio this morning, use this word improperly. example: "It's so cold today. it's -50 with the windshield."

no, buddy. windshield is the big piece of glass sitting between you and the pavement.

and it's sooo cold today. it's -19c (that's -2f). and it's probably like -80 with the windchill.


I'm a displaced American writer, mom, and wife living in Canada who muses about my life, my kids, my tv watching and my slight obsession with celebrities.
