Open Thread for Night Owls: Word choices both perfect and flawed (Daily Kos)

From the "Word for Word" feature at _Lapham's Quarterly_:

> Qualms about the proper use of the thesaurus go back to Roget’s original. An
anonymous review in the September 1852 issue of The Athenaeum voiced the
concern that the thesaurus would simply be used as a “crutch” for writers, who
would be better off avoiding “the frequent recurrence to a work of this kind.”
The view of it as a mere crutch persists to this day, especially among writers
of fiction and poetry who see the frequent consultation of it as somehow
impeding natural expression. Consider this pronouncement from Stephen King in
a 1986 piece for The Writer:

Bmx bottom bracket help, PLEASE HELP?

I have a GT Virtigo http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews146792.html i need a new bottom bracket, and need to know what size the bearings will be, i know the bottom bracket is 68mm (english thread), i just need to know the ball bearing size, and what else i need please tell... thank you in advance

If you buy a new bottom bracket, it will come with the bearings and cups. All you need is grease and the right tools to get the old one out and install the new one. The tools may cost you more than the bottom bracket actually.

Dan, you give incomplete info, the URL you gave has no specs, it's just a review site, so there's no way to know what kind of BB/crankset you have if it's anything out of the ordinary.

The first time you asked this question, I answered and posted a link for both types of bottom bracket since you weren't specific.
