Every year somebody comments on the number of famous people who died that year. I always reply that it's not extraordinary, that a lot of famous people die every year. I used to receive an encyclopedia yearbook every year, and the number of people whose names I knew was staggering. Every year.

I'm not writing this to dismiss the thread, or to argue. I'm writing to say that this year does indeed seem to be getting off to a bad start, considering it's only nineteen days old.

I also keep noticing how close to my own age a lot of these people are. :-?

The time to break into a real sweat will be when they start getting younger than you.

I already did that eight years ago, when for the first time we elected a president who was younger than me - by more than a decade!

One thing about getting older is that your memory is getting longer while your life is getting shorter. :hmm2:

No, I was referring to ME, as in "younger than the State of Maine".

Yes, even a dedicated Grammar Nazi can make mistakes, especially when writing in haste. On the other hand I found one expert who says it's not that clear.

To a question before his cabinet, Lincoln voted "aye" and his six cabinet members voted "nay." The President then pronounced the result: "Nays, six. Ayes, one. The ayes have it."
Now there was a President.:03:
(obviously the moderator-in chief of his cabinet-family; and a noted Grammer Tyrant in his own write)
