"deep-seating" mental alarms? (shouldn't that be deep-seeded?)

Reminds me of when I referred to the wind shield factor in front of a class of international grad students. One of them very politely corrected me -- "wind chill factor, I think, professor." Doh!

The 'questions to the seller' on the magnetic sunroof are just as funny as the product itself!

head on down to Miami, FL for plenty more 'unspoken racial codes' in public schools. i'd be willing to bet more of the same in most any border state in the southwest.

Oops, thanks Cindy. That's one of those type-too-fast typos that eludes spell check.

UPDATE: For the record, yes, "deep seated." I managed to correct my typo correctly but completely missed Cindy's typo. Still, credit to Cindy for spotting my original mistake.

Sorry, Cindy, but a quick google check reveals that the phrase "deep-seated" is correct and "deep-seeded" is mistaken.

Stand by your guns, Will.

Wow, I'm so embarrassed. I've been saying (and typing) "deep-seated" my entire life, never realizing that's it's supposed to be "deep-seeded". Well, ya learn something new every day!

Hmm... I always thought it was "deep-seated" so I googled it and whaddya know, there is a Word Court out there to rule on just such matters.

According to them, it is "deep-seated."

Thanks for linking to redditmedia.com. It's not reddit who added a "media" channel! I did it all on my own and reddit didn't even know it! :)

Um, I am getting a deep seated feeling that the Jena Six story is going to vanish, like so many other stories that paint our society as less than perfect. I haven't heard anything about it on any local news shows.

And, uh, yeah, a "whites only" tree isn't really subtle.

No "debunking" of 9/11 conspiracy theories can consider itself 1/4 complete unless it addresses the most powerful evidence of the truthers: The collapse of WTC 7 and the molten steel found still several weeks after the collapse of the towers, indicative of thermite.

The history channel spent its time cherry picking its arguments and was disgustingly one-sided. When someone can explain the WTC 7 collapse and molten steel found a couple months after 9/11, then and only then will I be open to the official story. Until then, "it don't smell right".

Google "noose tree cut down" and you will get an updated article from the Shreveport Times about cutting down the tree and rebuilding a school building damaged by arson since the incident.

LOLing, yup, it is deep-seated. I guess that all my life I've been the one who had it wrong. Going to bury my head back in the sand again. :)

Totally with G an Rob about the "white tree" thing. And it sounds like something that would make a great Dateline story (hint, hint)...

Even if stoolpigeon is correct about it being more widespread (which I suspect is the case), even helping these six boys in this one instance is worthwhile.

Will, you didn't miss much w/ the History Channel 9/11 piece of fiction. They actually used a hoax 'truth' site and tried to portray it as a real 'conspiracy theory' site. But hey, its totally legal for the media to actually lie and claim they are telling the truth, and since they've done it before, it should be no surprise.

Hey Will,

The WhyFirefoxIsBlocked site hasn't actually been hacked at all. The URL is actually http://whyfirefoxISblocked.com instead of http://whyISfirefoxblocked.com.

Just making sure everyone knew!

Will Femia — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 01:46:56 GMT

Dave, yeah, I almost fell for that report of the hack and then I had a moment of confusion when I went to the site and it wasn't hacked but I followed the URL and it was. So I went with "backlash." :)

While I agree that the treatment of the Jena six is appalling, I do take some offense at the article you linked. Mainly, it's the blatantly racist way that the writer uses capitalization. Why is it 'Black' and 'white'? Why not 'black' and 'White'? If you're going to decry racism, it's best not to partake in it while doing so.
