Several

It severely bugs me when people use this word to refer to any amount less than six. I'll be reading a book that uses 'several' to describe 3-4 of something. I always get confused for a moment 'cause I would swear that the book described that event or something as happening only 3 weeks or months ago. No! Clearly, 'few' is the only appropriate word in this situation. Also, 'few' and 'couple' are not interchangeable. Grrr...let's shape up people!!!

This has nothng to do with your stupid couple, few, several issues (which you're right about) but every time it's hot and I'm in bed not falling asleep (like now) I think of you when I flip the pillow.

Or rather, I think about my secret desire for you to wrong me in some way (say by seeing The New Guy without telling me, or telling me I need to go on Extreme Makeover... somethng like that) and getting into an argument about it. Because then when we make up and you say "are we cool?" I can say "like the oher side of the pillow."

That's all.
