Things that annoy me, part 92
Not to get all feminist or anything, but I find it so annoying when journalists use the word "Co-ed" to describe a female college student. Haven't most schools been coeducational for a pretty long time now? Using it to describe, say, a co-ed intramural basketball tournament is one thing, but, particularly since there are now more women on college campuses than men, isn't it about time that we drop the special word and just refer to them as "students?"

Holy cow! I'm about to start Brave New World too! I just picked up a copy at Half Price Crooks!
What an amazing coincidence.
Weird. What would really be an amazing coincidence is if it were a book about amazing coincidences. That would be really awesome!
Anyway, so far, I like it!
Why crooks? Is it because you can bring in a whole steamer trunk full of books and leave with only pennies--pennies!--in your pocket? Or are there other nefarious goings-on?
