I think I may head on over to wal-mart here and purchase me one of them fancy Magna full suspension bikes they've got on the cheap, swap out the pedals for some old and worn out SPDs I've got lying around, maybe hit it with a can of spray paint, then sell it on craigslist as a fancy "custom" build. Bet I could get $800 (or maybe that's just my starting price and I'll negotiate up/down accordingly.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-58173825703983646732009-07-22T12:42:22.731-04:002009-07-22T12:42:22.731-04:00I am surprised an aesthete member of the "fix...I am surprised an aesthete member of the "fixieazzi" would pass up the opportunity to invoke the name of <a href="http://blog.miragestudio7.com/wp-content/uploads2/2008/05/le_corbusier_specs_potrait.jpg" rel="nofollow">Le Corbusier</a> when mentioning circular glasses.Eric Lowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16861440095424013244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-23997287686902780122009-07-22T12:31:24.343-04:002009-07-22T12:31:24.343-04:00"Custom 2009 Bianchi Pista..."

(e.g. "It begs the question, why is he so dumb?") This is a common error of usage made by those who mistake the word "question" in the phrase to refer to a literal question. Sadly, the error has grown more and more common with time, such that even journalists, advertisers, and major mass media entities have fallen prey to "BTQ Abuse."<br /><br />While descriptivists and other such laissez-faire linguists are content to allow the misconception to fall into the vernacular, it cannot be denied that logic and philosophy stand to lose an important conceptual label should the meaning of BTQ become diluted to the point that we must constantly distinguish between the traditional usage and the erroneous "modern" usage.
