I really wish people would stop saying a light is burning.

The light is TURNED ON.
It's NOT BURNING....


I used to have a relative who always said lights were burning (I
especially remember this with old holiday lights). It sounded strange.

I once heard that some guy called the fire department because someone
told him his porch light was burning. Whether this is true or not, I
donrt know, but I dont doubt its true considering how stupid some
people are, but that term "light is burning" is really assenine. If
it was burning there would be flames.


And the sun isn't burning either (for one thing it couldn't be,
without any oxygen).

Something else that isn't burning: spicy food.
