let's celebrate the wonder that is punctuation. where would we be without it?
this is for all of you whom are pleased when they see plural possessives marks appropriately and whom the sight of semi-colons make giddy. also, for everyone who can't help but laugh viciously when they see a horrifically terrible error. to you, i also recommend reading Eats, Shoots & Leaves by lynne truss, though i imagine it would bea bit more enjoyable for those of you with british punctuation habits, as the subtle differences annoy me greatly |

you've forgotten periods on the last sentence of every post in this thread, nicki.
 my mom has that book. maybe i'll read it. edit: i don't like capitalization. actually, scratch that. i like capitalization, but pretend not to because i'm too damn lazy to do it myself. |

Don't you find some serious irony in the fact that she's a cB News editor?
Somehow, that seems ironic. |
