UPDATE: Marriage Protection Amendment
Also known as the "Defense of Hypocrisy Act!"
I'm reading a cranky little book called Literally the Best Language Book Ever, by a self-appointed language cop named Paul Yeager.* I wish I could say I am enjoying it, but while I agree with many of Yeager's assertions (and find myself continually guilty of transgressions both public and private), I nonetheless regard him as just too much of a prescriptivist for my tastes.

You science-y types may think this is just a color composite of galaxy M81, with the inset showing the x-rays
coming from some of the massive black holes to be found there. But you'd be wrong!

Language Peeves #1

Huh?
This recent Pew poll has come up with a statistic that I can only call--odd. Apparently, four in five atheists disbelieve in God.
The linked article does not explain in exactly what sense the fifth person could be considered "atheist."
