What are you thinking about right now?
I’m thinking about the same thing right now as I have been daily for more than 12 years. Person—not thing. It was on August 7, 2009 that Phoebe and I married. Would you look at that—today’s August 7th. I’ve never understood that classic troupe of a husband forgetting his anniversary. Just get it tattooed on your body if it’s that difficult to remember! Every time I hear the term anniversary, I think about that special type of person who would say, “Today’s our 12-year anniversary.” Might as well go full redundant and declare,
“Right now, today, my wife and I, we’ve been married as a wedded couple for a dozen years, celebrating our 12-year anniversary.”
Anni- derives from annus, meaning year. The same annus that gives us annual: “of, for, or pertaining to a year.” So there’s no need to include year anywhere near a sentence containing anniversary. And don’t get me started on the absolute absurdity of young lovebirds who celebrate their “3-month anniversary” of “going steady.” They could legitimately call it a “quarter-anniversary,” without drawing my ire. I’m done contemplating love lives of teenagers—too busy thinking about Phoebe.
