But they're high enough on the scale to be of comparable (if lesser) value in a general sense. And they represent a dollar saving of do-the-math. I'd use Chanel if I were rich. But I do use Essie, for the most part. OPI doesn't work for me, but some people swear by it.
I think OPI is a pretty good brand. It's long lasting and it used to come in some very masculine blues and greens.
And Brian Grazer should get off his arse and read his own damn literature.
The first that occurs to me is that while there is no sin in calling a simile a metaphor, there is a benefit in knowing that the former is an explicit comparison, usually but not necessarily using the word "like" or the word "as," whereas the latter is entirely implicit. If all people knew that, all people would have more options when referring to common figures of speech as such. And that's true whatever way you look at it. Because at a minimum, according to taste, they could then choose to observe or disregard the distinction, either of which would be fine.

I, personally, am going to start compiling a list of things I think Brian Grazer should know.

What OP ED said (and bonus points cos he spelt arse right), and he should know that just cos he's some high falutin movie director does not mean he needs someone else to do his thinking or wipe his backside for him.
Mental fighting work, that essay is in the data dump if you didn't know.
