OUR LIVING LANGUAGE

U is growing like a . . . toddler. He needs his THIRD Cubs cap, since the one he has now is starting to pinch his little brain and make his eyes bulge out. I employed strategery in buying both a bigger cap, and a Cubs winter hat for him at the same time. Lower shipping, and the cap was on sale.

Unfortunately, I misunderestimated the time it would take to get the merchandise. Apparently it is at a "Sortation Center" in New Berlin, Wisconsin. A sortation center? Really? I mean, I understand that "strategery" and "misunderestimate" were either made up or simple errors in the stream of speech. Fedex, and heavan help us, the United States Post Office, had to decide to call something a . . . sortation center.
