I also don't like that 20-year age gap. Exclude people who are 30-50 and basically you're left with children and retired people. Obviously 30-50-year-olds are your core workers. Gen X is 1966-1976.

On government forms they often specify MM/DD/YYYY, but if you're just writing the date on a letter (ha!) or something, what's the purpose of writing a zero before a single digit day or month? I really hate when people do that.

Oregon is overlayed with the Palestian Authority's flag. The Palestinian Authority isn't a country. Interesting that I don't see Israel's flag anywhere.

The graphic is wrong about how to use apostrophe with an abbreviation of a year. In the New York Times, the preferred abbreviation is number-apostrophe-s (e.g., 90's), while in many other publications the preferred abbrevation is apostrophe-number-s (e.g., '90s). It has nothing to do with its being possessive or not.

Not to mention the fact that the site's example starts a sentence with a numeral, which is wrong. Their "90's fashion was a bit awkward" should be "Nineties fashion was a bit awkward."

Cute source code, though.

Caveman: people with the attitude you described shouldn't be enlisting in the first place. There are other ways to get scholarship money.

I had a pretty small room in the BOPH, but it's not like I was throwing a party for 100 of my closest friends in it, so who cared?

My complaint about the BOPH was that it's not sufficiently sound-proofed. But this is true for many downtown hotels -- at five a.m. you're awakened to the lovely sound of garbage trucks.

I find it hard to believe that people like this. I've had to work these hours occasionally because of mandatory overtime, and by Friday I was completely wiped out. Did they factor in commuting time? Because according to the census, the average commute in Salt Lake City is about 20 minutes. The average commute where I live in NYC is twice that. And my personal commute is an hour and a half on a bad day.
