You know you are an english geek when your co-worker asks you out of the blue one day, have you ever wondered where the word nowadays comes from, it's a weird contracted type of word, it can't have been in use that long, could it?
And..... you go look it up, because it bugs you.
Then you go back to your co-worker and tell them. Nowadays, came into use between 1325 and 1375, from the middle english nou adaes. It's been around a long time now.
That's when you start to really wonder about yourself......

Hmm, reminds me... Matt wanted to look up "cat's got your tongue" the other day when we were out, and I bet everyone forgot.
