Yeah, well, FO to you, too, buddy!

Yesterday, as has become my wont on New Year's Day, I started a new crochet project, in this case, an adorable little round box. My friendly "stitches used" guide told me I would be needing to "sc [single crochet], dc [double crochet], and blo [back loop only]." I'm not going to bother with an explanation here; those of you who don't crochet don't

And here I thought that I was the only one who couldn't read them. I remember that there was one set of instructions that I read that had "Ch" and "ch", one for a croshet and one for a chain - but they didn't have a key in the begining to tell you the difference. Which is sad since this set of insructions was in the "beginner's book" that I bough.

Stupid. You know, we would make a lot of money by formulating a dictionary and standardizing terms and abreviations. And then having a list of alternative abreviations as well.

What?!? Oh, wow, that's absurd. "Ch" should be chain. Always! Now matter how it's capitalized. And what did they think they meant by "crochet"? That's like an NHL playbook telling you to "hockey the puck" down the ice! Harrumph. Ludicrous.

All of these problems go away if you add the Cyrillic|Hebrew|Greek alphabet. Just sayin'.

True enough. Because then nobody can read the patterns in the first place. Clever.

I am a master at shifting problems to the next level.

Aw, man, if we could get people to abide by our crochet dictionary, this world would be a rockin' place. And we would be its queens for certain.
