It's sad, but saying "has died" won't bring him back.

Really? strawberry float.

Better leave it as is then.

lol sarcasm, lowest form of wit, etc.

You're such an anus most of the time.

I'm putting off my Breakfast Club watching until tomorrow.

No, leave it as it is. Why must we sugarcoat things? It's a fact. John Hughes is dead. It's sad, but saying "has died" won't bring him back.

It's not a case of sugarcoating things, it sounds more respectful somehow. He'll always be dead from now on, but given that it's a very recent occurrence, 'has died' is much better. The finality of 'is dead' fits better when he's long since passed on.

Sad news. It's probably time I actually watch one of his films.

Hmm, I guess so. I've just never seen the point of mincing words. I hate "passed away" and "moved on" and other such euphemisms. Not to say that I'm heartless, but I just don't like euphemisms where death is concerned. Much better just to spit it out.

I said I'll probably starting watching his films. Give me a break.

Edit: Ferris what's-his-face has been added to my LoveFilm list.

Must have been an omen.
