The point: words mean more than you think. Do yer research!

A quick note
Earlier this year, I pointed out that I would keep the "crazy" in my blog name as a way to reclaim it. What I have forgotten to address fully was: as this link reveals, reclamation is not that easy. While I think "crazy" (in reference to me) is okay, that doesn't mean: "well, the word's okay to use then, whoo-hoo!" There are gonna be folks that may not appreciate you using that word. So, be mindful of that. Again, the awesome folks at FWD/Forward articulate it better (yeah, I linked before to this. So what? It's so good it had to be linked again!).
