    Well, I guess I’m not “older” yet (35) but I did used to wear my hair longer than I do now. One day I looked in the mirror and it just didn’t look good on me anymore. Getting rid of some of the hair seemed to bring back some of the “cute.” I by no means have an “older woman’s hairstyle” and I hope I never do, but I do think girls in their teens and early 20s can carry off very long hair better.

    Um, wouldn’t the SSN, DOB and such take care of that? And how do you know 2 of the John Smiths aren’t of the same race? I don’t think that’s the reason. I wonder if it has more to do with affirmative action.

    I’m from the generation where it was one of the “cool” words. I think it’s just force of habit. I personally never use it, but then I wasn’t one of the cool kids either. I’ve also heard it used more ironically lately, so it seems to mean the opposite now, kind of like saying, “Oh, great” when something annoying happens. I think slang is like fashion; it keeps changing, but many of us hold on to things from when we were growing up.

    I’m white, and I can say “ask” correctly, but I have trouble with “asked.” I just can’t seem to pronounce it. I know how but it never comes out right. So for some people it might be as simple as that. And we do live in a large country with many regional accents and dialects. As long as a person can carry on an intelligent conversation and you know what they are saying, why worry about it?

    My sister’s husband waited for her, and she got married at age 30! They seem to have a great marriage too.
