There’s a popular meme going around that demonstrates that if you spin 2012 around in a specific way, it appears to resemble the word eros. People are taking this as evidence that this is the year of eros. Allow me to remind you that you -spun it around backwards to get that effect-. You will not be living this year backwards, from December 31st to now. No, you will be living it forwards, in which case, the correct translation is -not- Eros. It is Sore.
