The OC: Season 4: Oh see ya later

(06/07/07 4:00am)

If after the first episode of season 4 I had been told "The OC" would be cancelled within a few months, I wouldn't have cared at all. OK, that's a lie. I still would've been devastated, but with the direction the show was going, it would've been for the best. After all, Josh Schwartz and company had the stupid idea of not sending anyone to college (except Summer, who was quickly expelled) and killing off Marissa Cooper. Besides, the season's set-up leaves something to be desired. It is just so convenient that the first episode begins five months after Coop's death so the writers don't have to actually deal with the devastation the death of a girlfriend/best friend/daughter/social chair would cause. Instead, we see Ryan taking off to fight in cage matches, while Seth sits at home and Summer is transformed into an overzealous, earth-loving activist. Eww.\nBut then something incredible happens: the show starts getting good again, although it could never achieve the sheer brilliance of the first season. Julie Cooper and Ryan team up to hunt down Volchock, but resident morality god Sandy Cohen steps in to prevent their revenge-driven murder spree. Taylor Townsend isn't the best Coop replacement, and her relationship with Ryan is always awkward, but she shines in the episodes when her French husband comes seeking his "Peaches." Summer has an amusing pregnancy scare, causing her to tone down her hippie lifestyle, and Kirsten's pregnancy scare turns out to be real (a storyline that started way too late. Oh, what I would've done to witness more of pregnant Kiki and Sandy spewing his wondrous fatherly morals to baby Sophie!).\nThe last episode has the difficult task of wrapping up the series' loose ends. Although the w

American brothers convicted of murdering their parents

"The Menendez Brothers" redirects here. For the documentary, see The Menendez Brothers (film).

Joseph Lyle Menendez (born January 10, 1968) and Erik Galen Menendez (born November 27, 1970), commonly referred to as the Menendez brothers, are American brothers convicted of killing their parents, José and Mary Louise "Kitty" Menendez, at their Beverly Hills home in 1989.

Following the murders, Lyle and Erik claimed that unknown intruders were responsible for the murders, framing it as a potential mob killing. Police initially investigated this claim, but grew suspicious due to the brothers' spending and their hiring of a computer expert to delete their father's recently updated will. Eri

In our mouths or in print, in villages or in cities, in buildings or in caves, a language doesn’t sit still. It can’t. Language change has preceded apace even in places known for preserving a language in amber. You may have heard that Icelanders can still read the ancient sagas written almost a thousand years ago in Old Norse. It is true that written Icelandic is quite similar to Old Norse, but the spoken language is quite different—Old Norse speakers would sound a tad extraterrestrial to modern Icelanders. There have been assorted changes in the grammar, but language has moved on, on that distant isle as everywhere else.

It’s under this view of language—as something becoming rather than being, a film rather than a photo, in motion rather than at rest—that we should consider the way young people use (drum roll, please) like. So deeply reviled, so hard on the ears of so many, so new, and with such an air of the unfinished, of insecurity and even dimness, the new like is hard to, well, love. But it takes on a different aspect when you consider it within this context of language being ever-evolving.

First, let’s take like in just its traditional, accepted forms. Even in its dictionary definition, like is the product of stark changes in meaning that no one would ever guess. To an Old English speaker, the word that later became like was the word for, of all things, “body.” The word was lic, and lic was part of a word, gelic, that meant “with the body,” as in “with the body of,” which was a way of saying “similar to”—as in like. Gelic over time shortened to just lic, which became like. Of course, there were no days when these changes happened abruptly and became official. It was just that, step by step, the syllable lic, which to an Old English speaker meant “body,” came to mean, when uttered by people centuries later, “similar to”—and life went on.

Like has become a piec
