is it just me?

There is a plaque that we sell at work that reads this:

Love is a many splendid thing.

Is this bothersome to anyone else besides me?????

Anyone?....Anyone?

as in... splendored? ewww... it's not just you. Although, I just googled the phrase and a movie popped up.

Yes, for you *ahem* age-challenged folks, there was a movie by that title...late 60's, I think.

Just another example of how our populace has failed to understand the language they speak.
