And here we “is” almost a month later and the “is” “is” still there. How hard “is” it to get rid of “is”?

The “is” is only there the first time you go to change your status. Once you change your status, the “is” is gone forever!

The ‘is’ is still there, but can now be deleted if wanted.

Only one problem with this story. It isn’t true! The ‘is’ still there!

They dropped “is”?!?

My God, this is huge. A giant leap for mankind!

We cannot, possibly, ever, under-report this pivotal moment in modern history.
I remember when I heard it, I was at my computer, browsing Facebook.

Bob – I have to disagree. I saw it as I was commenting on the fact it was made in to news, not the actual story itself. The removal of “is” (which has now returned) was a “non-story”. My piece was more about the fact people made it a story.

Apparently so, as you wrote about it….. If you have a problem with something being “not newsworthy” (which this definitely is) why post about it? All your posting does is add one more site that feels this is newsworthy and assist in propagating the “problem” as you see it :)

I, for one, am sick of the abundant is discrimination I have lately been experiencing, well, nearly everywhere.
Why can’t we just all get along with is?
Is has never done anything to hurt us, and yet we are constantly railing aginst this little, harmless word.
Won’t someone think of the is’? Iss… er… Izzes?

Really, who the fark cares?
