Curious versus Weird

[podling]

So I meant to post this a while back actually. I say that everything is weird. And the word has kind of lost it's meaning. But what I really mean when I say, "That's weird" is actually, "That's curious" but in most situations saying, "Now, that's curious" would sound weird. So I don't know what to say anymore, except that the whole thing is both curious and weird.

Confusion

I think it's curious that astrophysicat always writes "wierd". Or is that just plain weird?\

Yeah, I've often thought it weird. Or wierd, to quote astrophysicat. At least she's consistent...
