    ...that the American women's soccer team "learned resiliency the hard way"...?

    I did. And it was a prepared, telepromted remark, not something off-the-cuff.

    WTF

    Actually, apparently nothing. I was convinced "resiliency" wasn't a word (why would it be?) and I when I looked it up to make sure, I didn't see it listed as an alternate for "resilience." But I just looked it up separately and it was there, although it did say "resilience" is preferred. I was probably overreacting because of all the crap I hear on NFL Network in unprepared remarks, like "conversate." Then again, that's also in the online dictionaries now. Oh well, I withdraw my outrage.... For now...

    Eh, there's plenty to be riled up about. "Aha moment" is now a word, too. I suppose my rage was misplaced at ESPN this time when it should have been whoever runs dictionaries, but really, I have so much rage for ESPN anyway that I feel like it's not enough. It was only a matter of time before I started making stuff up.
