A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

XEROX, KLEENEX, FAX: Spacewoman and I had a polite disagreement about whether it's "tee ball" or "t-ball." My position was that you hit a ball off a tee; ergo, "tee ball." Her position was that the web site where you sign your kid up says "t-ball"; ergo, t-ball. As always, Wiki has the answer: "tee ball" is a registered trademark, so everybody who calls their sport by that eminently descriptive name gets a cease and desist letter from some scary New York lawyer named Matt Marcotte. T-ball, on the other hand, makes no sense but is perfectly acceptable.
