Inspired by [livejournal.com profile] sylphslider's post about the Sexual Addiction Screening Test, which she found through The Blowfish Blog . It occurs to me though, that while sex is often talked about because it's, you know, sexy, the real problems lie elsewhere. As Bishop Wilberforce says "Too much education would make everyone unfit to follow the plow." The problem in our society is not too much access to or problems with sex. The problem is that too many workers are being corrupted by words, and thereafter useless for actual work. Since without work and workers we'd be lost, work is the foundation of society, words are hacking away at our social foundations.

In order to address the problem, it is first necessary to determine whether you are a part of the problem.

  1. just deserts


  2. A deserved punishment or reward, as in He got his just deserts when Mary jilted him. This idiom employs desert in the sense of “what one deserves,” a usage dating from the 1300s but obsolete except in this expression.

  3. Just Desserts


  4. a Specialty bakery with six locations around the city. Baked goods include cakes, cookies, muffins, brownies, and pastries.

    Ok. So if you got something you justly deserve, there is only one ess, unless you justly deserve a pastry from a particularly tasty bakery. From the French deservir, meaning deserves - hence the spelling.

    It's really a small thing, but please.
