    If I try to search wordforge for posts with the word "serious" or threads with the word "serious" in the title, I get an error because the search term is too common. How in the world did things come to this?

    This is a problem, but one that is of a greater magnitude than most problems. One that would be expressed perfectly by adding the proper adjective. Something that expresses both the severity of the problem and emphasizes that this is no laughing matter; that it shouldn't be taken lightly. What adjective is capable of meaning both "of great importance" and "not humorous" at the same time? I could have sworn I knew such a word, but I'm drawing a complete blank. I'm sure it'll come to me.

    I really wonder what I typed that spellcheck changed to Colonel. Ask correctly, perhaps?

    For a serious question, have any of you realized that today is 12/13/14, and it's the last day whose date will have consecutive numbers until the next century? If you've been putting something off till a date with consecutive numbers, you'd better get it done today.

    A seriously serious question about the seriousness of the word serious used in a serious manner about serious debate in posts containing the serious word serious.
