Eugh! It's like the vestibule of hell, where the Futile go.
Using "sans" for "without"?

Hahaha, that it is.
And in writing I don't mind it, in speech it tends to come off sort of weird.
Decaffeinated coffee?
Nay, I don't drink coffee
Starbucks
Yes, on the road it's better than a Denny's. Beyond that, it's just coffee. Way too expensive, though.
Trader Joe's?
I don't think we have them up here, I've heard good things though.
Very, very cheap wine ($2 a bottle cheap)?
Aye to Trader Joes
Nay to wine
Shark Week
Aye.
Bug week?
I didn't know there was a bug week but it sounds awesome.
All those random made up holidays like Talk Like A Pirate Day
YAAAR!
Poison dart frogs?
Aye, I love those guys.
Various diffrent ribbons for various causes
I'm not really into it. To me, it's too much like pious religious works. How did it end up being about the worker? I prefer to give as much as I possibly can to the causes I personally choose (it's all about choice, right?), and then mostly keep it to myself. I somehow feel like I'm being hustled with all the hoopla. So no, not really.
Same question.
Nay, it is like some sort if braging or martyrdom or trying to guilt trip others
The continuation of associating pink with girls and blue with boys in baby/kids clothes?
Well, pink is a great color for men, and women have always worn blue. As far as baby clothes go, I think it's kind of silly to insist on the traditional colors, but parents are welcome to do so if they want. Personally I think it's a bigger problem for older kids because it can (and will) cause bullying and humiliation in school. I didn't start to wear pink until I was a self-confident and slightly obnoxious adult.
Public/televised marriage proposals?
Nay for public/televised marriage proposals.
And, the traditional colour for boys' clothes is pink/red, and blue for girls.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow?Quote:
The ‘pink for a girl, blue for a boy’ coding is actually the opposite of the system that prevailed until quite recently. Until the 20th century toddlers of either sex were normally dressed in white, but when colours were used, boys were dressed in pink. At the turn of the 20th century, Dressmaker Magazine wrote: 'The preferred colour to dress young boys in is pink. Blue is reserved for girls as it is considered paler, and the more dainty of the two colours, and pink is thought to be stronger (akin to red).' As late as 1927, Time magazine reported that Princess Astrid of Belgium had been caught out when she gave birth to a girl, because 'The cradle…had been optimistically outfitted in pink, the colour for boys.'
Nay. He's just not convincing. I've been in his mansion in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Also, by coincidence, I own a copy of that icon.
Christian icons as art?
