A Bit of Housekeeping

Often as I write my posts, I grow frustrated at the constant use of the phrase: "those who live a Straight Edge lifestyle." There are other awkward variations as well such as: "Straight Edge people." I find it redundant to have to rely on a phrase to describe a group of people so often. We do not say, "those who follow a Vegetarian diet" whenever we talk about Vegetarians, we say, "Vegetarians."

So without further to do and for lack of a better word, I present to you what I will now be using in place of all the meticulous phrases (drum roll, please): "Edgies!"

Will this word one day become the standard term, thus eliminating the red underline of bad spelling? Probably not, but for this Blog it will work just fine!
