Random (Weird) Thoughts, Vol. 1

The ice cream place around the corner just posted that they are getting ready to close in a couple of days.
This makes no sense to me.
People want to eat ice cream all the time.  Even in not summer.  Maybe not so much in February, but definitely in October and November and December.  Closing in the middle of the pumpkin spice season is not good business sense.
Reasons To Eat Ice Cream In Winter


As a lifelong word snob, I can't stand when people write WOAH when they mean WHOA!
Woah rhymes with Noah and is all kinds of wrong.  I am not alone in my disdain for this.
I also can't stand when people say anyways...adding that stupid extraneous 's' on the end so that they sound like a prepubescent young girl who is trying to sound cutesy.
But the big, giant word-related irk of mine is when someone uses the word 'overwhelm' as a noun.
Are you suffering from overwhelm?  We can help with your overwhelm! 
I don't care that language and usage evolve; it's a damn verb all day long.
