The ‘Busy’ Trap

It’s hard to find anything to say about life without immersing yourself in the world, but it’s also just about impossible to figure out what it might be, or how best to say it, without getting the hell out of it again.

Another great one by XKCD! The hover-text, as usual, is awesome.


  If things are too quiet, try asking a couple of friends whether “a couple” should always mean “two”. As with the question of how many spaces should go after a period, it can turn acrimonious surprisingly fast unless all three of them agree.


Yes, “a couple” should always mean two. I use “a few” to mean about three and “several” to mean about four to five.

There should only be one space after each period.
