Can I rant for just a moment? Thanks. There are some things I need to get off my chest.

The word “diversity” is not—nor, to the best of my knowledge, has it ever been—a synonym for “people with a higher concentration of melanin that your average Caucasian.” So let’s stop using it that way, shall we?

“Everyday” is an adjective (“Everyday People” by Sly and the Family Stone); “every day” is an adverbial phrase (I listen to “Everyday People” every day). Got it? Good.

It’s never “alright.” It’s always “all right.”

Please, please, please stop capitalizing your job title. You’re really not that important.

Okay then. Sorry about the snarky tone. But a guy can only take so much.
