Go Ahead, Make My DayWherein Our Heroine
Has Travel Plans.
I will be traveling up to New England
this weekend. My mother is winning an award next week, and I am going to cheer
her on. All this is well and good - I look forward to seeing friends, visiting
the old homestead and avoiding the drinking of "hard
water." But those who have read this site from its inception know it
means another thing that potentially threatens my tenuous hold on reason: airline
language.
It has been a couple of months since I have been on an airplane - which leads me to wonder if there are any new depredations being wreaked upon the English language by the Visigoths of the Seat Back and Tray Table. For once, I will actually be listening quite carefully to their instructions - I need some new material, and the airline industry seems to wring linguistic outrage from me in the most effortless fashion imaginable. Since I'm flying Southwest up to Manchester, it's entirely possible that I will get something truly creative - Southwest's employees are actually allowed to deviate from the script. Oooh... scary.
