Over
Languid dog reclines, /
drooping like an old flower /
over the bed’s edge.

Photo finish Friday: “Whelmed”
Whelmed (dad joke, number 4)
Happy to see you. /
First, right amount of whelmed. Then, /
I was over it.

AP removes distinction between ‘over’ and ‘more than’ | Poynter..

Poynter’s Vicki Krueger shares some news from the American Copy Editors Society conference that will rock copy editors to their very cores: AP Stylebook editors said at a session Thursday that “Over” is fine when referring to a quantity; you don’t have to change it to “more than.”
The news elicited a gasp, Krueger reports.
[Editor’s note: Unlike the Onion article, this one is true.]
