I love sitting there balancing my coffee on my lap and a croissant on my knee and the paper in one/both/ all my hands. I like the feel, the smell, the paper-ness of it all.

"Chastity belts." I was curious. Did they still exist? Do people use them? Answer was a virtual tour (unlike anything I'd seen then) of a business in Canada that custom makes them. Including for men. (I was SO naive. Since then, I've seen things I wish I could unsee. Goat doing a man, for example.) I remember my first search engine search around 1996 or so. “Chastity belts.” I was curious.

That's the factor that instantly made note #1 the worse of the two. That mistake always makes my skin crawl: it's as though the offenders are trying to add gravitas to their statement (adding the M is so much fancier!) or make themselves sound more illustrious or intelligent and it just comes across as pomp.
