Maddened by Mad Men

[David A. Daniel]

Wasn't there a whole thing lately about a British article on what Brits find
annoying about Americanizations? Seems to me annoyance is what makes the
world go round. I mean, for all the decimate and impact and hopefully and
done and nauseous  arguers out there, there is no rhyme nor reason. Just
annoyance. No?
