The bridesmads' gowns issue used to puzzle me before I read this post on a weight-loss forum I read (originally posted by Melissa):
"A friend of mine used to work at a bridal shop in Minneapolis and she told me something that absolutely fried my goose at the time.
Wedding dresses and bridesmaid's dresses are deliberately sized AT LEAST two sizes above regular clothing. The reason for this is that the companies upcharge for "large" sizes, often anything 14 and above. So do the math -- 80% of women are a size 10 or larger, which means that these companies can sock 80% of women buying these dresses with the "large size" fee!"
"Morganatic" would be especially bad -- it's the wrong part of speech.
I wonder, does "Theodoric" bother you?
I also always feel that "Emily" is a closet adverb.
