Grammar: Rules for speaking and writing a language, which change all the time. I distinctly remember being taught not to end a sentence with a preposition. That doesn't even set off grammar check now. We were also taught to avoid ain't, but it doesn't even set off Spellcheck now. And don't get me started on indenting paragraphs... grrrrrrrr!

Phoenix: A place in Arizona where the major tourist attraction in the summer is the experience of going outside and feeling like you just entered a sauna.

Photograph - an exact facsimile of other people projected onto a two-dimensional space, but for some reason makes you look fatter than you actually are and older than you want to be.
