Man, who wrote this?[edit]

This article claims: "'Up and at 'em,' meaning 'There is a lot of work to be done,'" Huh? Clearly someone went to Dictonary.com and misquoted the definition: "Get going, get busy, as in Up and at 'em—there's a lot of work to be done." In other words, they took the example sentence and used it for the definition as opposed to the definition itself. Kind of like looking up the definition of excited and seeing the usage example, "he was excited to see his team win" and then defining excited as "seeing his team win." BTW, punctuation usually goes inside the quotes. Oh well, at least some wikidiot didn't rewrite the article in UK English. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.129.224.141 (talk) 11:14, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
