More Thursday spam about compound words

What is up with people suddenly splitting compound words? I see it with greater frequency these days.

Somehow becomes some how.
Background becomes back ground.
Bittersweet becomes bitter sweet.
Intact becomes ... oh, wait, that's not a compound word, it's just one people think is and split it up into in tact for reasons I still haven't figured out. Intact is one word!

Believe it or not, putting in a space really does change the meaning sometimes. Or is that some times?

SPN: Heaven and Hell

( I survived the gratuitous SPN sexcapades of 2008 )

Anyway.

This is the first episode this year which didn't feel like SPN to me. It was ... flat. Rather uninteresting through most of it.

( So it's not that great a note to leave it for nearly two months )

Short story even shorter: this one won't go on my favorites list, but the last five minutes broke me.


Total aside, I missed the bus to make it to the blood bank in time for my appointment after work and had to walk the whole way. It's only a couple miles, but I didn't have my sneakers with me today. The boots I was wearing were not made for walking, that's for dang sure. I have blisters in places I never thought could blister. I hope they subside a bit overnight.

I'm a hurtin' unit.
