Let us hope this does work - but beware if any female caterpillars do live. The last thing you want is a super-moth! On the one hand, genetic engineering has a lot of promise; on the other, we don't know fully how genes work, so many GMOs are a crapshoot. We should be very cautious when releasing any genetically modified fauna or flora, but on the other hand we need to keep the research going. GMOs aren't bad in themselves - it all depends on how we (and especially Big Agra companies) use them.
One activity that helps me sleep is doing puzzles. For some reason they soothe my mind and make me sleepy. Another is a word game in which I take one word and see how many phrases, titles, sayings, etc. include it. For example, if the word is "dog," I can get dog house, dog park, walk the dog, putting on the dog, every dog has his day, big dog, dog paddle, and so on.
I've read a number of guides on how to fold fitted sheets. One involves getting inside the sheet and lying down. #### that! I just do my best, and don't give a rat's arse.
There is a BIG difference between evolving and devolving. Language is a "living thing subjected to constant changes," but some of those changes are negative. The Apostrophe Protection Society was endeavoring to prevent a negative change. Fine - go ahead and f### up English till it might as well be monkey chatter.
Allowing abuse of apostrophes, along with other linguistic sins, is causing our language to degenerate. Pretty soon, English might as well be gibberish. Our grandchildren will be speaking Russian or Chinese - or Spanish.
