Those who know me could easily guess that the title "The Pursuit of Happyness" would bug me. In fact, my youngest sister took great joy in bringing up the title multiple times when I was at my parents' house for Christmas. And yet, no one has intuited that I was equally bothered when I heard of "The Last Mimzy" (previewed when I went to watch Bridge to Terabithia which I heartily recommend - great movie!). Because, you see, mimsy is *clearly* an adjective, and yet the title is using it as a noun! However I have been able to maintain my sanity because the two words are really not the same word at all. One is spelled with an s, the other with a z. Whew! Crisis averted!
