Language Liberalism Freethought Birds
Verbing Weirds Language only if you're expecting it to work in a simple way. This is a special case of the more general truth that Language Weirds.
Only when a republic's life is in danger should a man uphold his government when it is in the wrong. There is no other time.
The church says Earth is flat; but I have seen its shadow on the moon, and I have more confidence in a shadow than the church.
If we can't find Heaven, there are always bluejays.
I saw someone (I don't remember where, I think TMC, but while I wrote down the words I forgot to write down the source) the other day:
20th Century Fox Home Entertainment has released the 50th anniversary of The Diary of Anne Frank ... with Millie Perkins in the title role.Oh, really?

I used to teach Russian and Ukrainian, and some basic English, to civil servants. Now I teach Russian at a local continued-learning institute. I dabble in Gaelic and Welsh. I'm am amateur photographer and I love birding (in a small way). I'm a Progressive, and a Freethinker, and I know Evolution is a fact - that's FCD, Friend of Charles Darwin (look down the sidebar). I read a lot, and follow women's college basketball. Also I love astronomy, though I'm a rank amateur at it. Most of all, I like living in the reality-based community...

<-- Older Post ^ Home Newer Post -->I think I'd accept that without question. There's only one role in the title, and I think the term fits. I've also seen Peter Fonda's role in "Ulee's Gold" described that way. This time, I think you're being too picky.
Also, though I guess it shouldn't matter for how they refer to the movie, in this case it's a little trickier because the book from which the movie was made is called "Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl". The title was trimmed for the movie.
Oh, I accept it too. I just think it's kind of funny.
I probably should have put the "humor" tag on - I've added it.
