I thought I would take a precious second out of my day to clear up some common misconceptions as well as provide some well needed insight into some of the most pressing issues we are faced with today. These are things that have been weighing on my mind and I hope by reading them you will feel enlightened and educated.
The difference between:
Sweater - 1 a knitted jacket or jersey, in pullover or cardigan style, with or without sleeves 2 a person or thing that sweats
Sweatshirt- 1 a loose, long-sleeved collarless pullover of soft absorbent fabric, as cotton jersey, with close fitting or elastic cuffs and sometimes a drawstring at the waist, commonly worn during athletic activity for warmth or to induce sweating
Origin - 1920-25, SWEAT +SHIRT

Furthermore:
The guy from Reading Rainbow is not blind. Even though he played a blind guy on Star Trek. Now you no longer have to lie awake at night, troubled by the cruel fact that they made a blind guy do a show on reading.
The pajamas with feet attached to the bottom (aka footsies) are actually illegal in most European countries. They are viewed to be inhumane and cruel.
Cab drivers prefer to be addressed as "cabbie", whether driving their cab or not. If they are from a foreign country and have an accent, they prefer to be addressed in that accent.
There are three reactions you will get when you beep at a random person while driving your car down a busy city street. Confusion, happiness, or rage. Who gets angry at a wave?
Clay Aiken is not actually gay.
Wearing cotton stretchy gloves is not OK unless you are ten years old or younger. And are a girl.
Kim Jong-il shoots three to four hole-in-ones per a round of golf. Fact. Wikipedia never lies.
Putting your computer on standby instead of turning it off does not actually save energy. In fact it wastes more energy. Its kind of like putting your car in neutral instead of turning it off.

Taco Bell is authentic Mexican food. Just ask the people working there.
If you live in a house and pay rent, yet your house is colder than the air outside and you have plastic bags over your windows and a piece of plywood over the window of your front door (all three criterion must be met), you are actually considered, by the State of Massachusetts, a bona fide homeless person. Even though you live in a home. Go figure.

For "K's" Consideration
People who use the word "sweater" for all items of clothing that you wear over a shirt are not looking to offend anyone.
There are lots of things that are considered illegal/inhumane/cruel in European countries but are still done (eating frogs legs, worshiping david hasselhoff) and I think footsies are less of a problem than the before mentioned.

You neglected to include having to wear a sweater/sweatshirt/hoodie, long pants, socks, and in most cases two blankets just to watch a fucking episode of No Reservations in the certified homeless home we live in.
