Polarization (MM #5012)
How many different dictionaries are there? I'm betting there are over a dozen. I know of Cambridge, Oxford, Collins, and Miriam Webster. How many do we need? Don't they all have the same words? Over …

Chi-Chi’s (MM #5008)

5K (MM #5000)
It may be Black Friday, but don't worry; I haven't taken up running. When people started jogging in the 1970s, I tried it for a moment, a very brief moment. I have always hated running. I never liked…
