all right, i know this is being picky, but one of the higher-ups at work spent a good part of a lunch meeting using the word denouement over and over again when he could have easily just used conclusion. i know it's his m.o. to sound all intellectual, but i really think if had to use it as a slide title in his powerpoint presentation he could have spelled it right. is that a horrible standard? i don't really care if people have typos on blogs, or even fancy powerpoint presentations. but if you're going to strut, it helps not to have a limp, you know?

there are many other orthographic crimes perpetuated by those caught up in trying to talk fancy- like inappropriate use of "whom" or "i" (sometimes "me" is actually right). don't even get me started about irregardless.
