It&#8217;s just&#8230; Well, first, the dress looks fairly bridal. I&#8217;m glad it&#8217;s not itchy at all, I guess. I feel COMPELLED to make a reasonable offer, perhaps after COMING BY to try it on. And you know, if I had &#8220;random people&#8221; chasing me down to snap photos, that would make me very uncomfortable. Also, who is the zoot suit creep on the lamp post? And why?<\/p>\n<p>Finally, and most obviously, pay cash &#8220;and the top comes off&#8221;? Nice. That&#8217;s a motivated seller.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll bet she did stand out at prom.<\/p>\n<p>[ \/Shawna]<\/p>\n<p>This post brings me to a question. I&#8217;m somewhat of a language wonk, if you haven&#8217;t noticed. Little linguistic things really interest me, like regional variations between <em>pop<\/em> and <em>soda<\/em> or <em>bag<\/em> and <em>sack<\/em>. It&#8217;s because the rest of my life is so exciting, I&#8217;m sure, that I focus on things like this in my down time.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I know that in parts of the US the construction, &#8220;I went to prom&#8221; is more common, but where I grew up, I went to THE prom. Saying &#8220;I went to prom&#8221; seems to me like saying, &#8220;I went to store.&#8221; My husband says, &#8220;Ours had a qualifier &#8212; you went to Senior Prom or Junior Prom.&#8221; Even then, I would say, &#8220;I went to THE Junior Prom&#8221; instead.<\/p>\n<p>I have a sneaking suspicion I&#8217;m in the minority; a Google search for &#8220;I went to prom&#8221; returns over 31,500 hits, while a search for &#8220;I went to the prom&#8221; returns a mere 19,000. Luckily, the Google search also returned <a href=\"http:\/\/separatedbyacommonlanguage.blogspot.com\/2007\/05\/proms.html\">this blog entry<\/a> on the topic, which makes me feel a little bit better &#8212; I&#8217;m not the only person who overthinks these things.<\/p>\n<p>How about you folks?
