Billiam knows I have a passion for consistent grammar, and so he sent me this. Please pardon all the swearing. I did not write it. I also prefer the Oxford comma myself, since we shouldn’t be making up couples where there are none, but hey, y’know, the message, however crass, still rings true:
I had no idea that putting a space in front of a comma was a frequently committed act of dumbassery. I’m thankful to have been sheltered from that mess.
I love this.
Who puts a space in front of a comma? Ridiculous! Rawr.
P.S. I hope you join us on Definitely No A Day – soon to be announced!
Of course I will join you!
We should make t-shirts.
“There’s only one A here, and I’m looking at it”
OMG. I love this. It’s like you’re inside my brain.
These are a few of my biggest pet peeves. It bothers me even more that the people I converse with the most are the biggest offenders! I don’t correct them anymore. It stresses me out.
And if you do correct them, they don’t thank you. Honestly they should. We’re saving them from looking like asses in their next interview.
I never get thanked. Instead, I get criticized for being nitpicky, with a follow-up “you know what I meant.” It drives me nuts.

this is some funny shit! I love it!
It’s so nice to know we’re not the only ones with attentive eyes, no?
Hope Chillin went well!!
Yes it was ok, Mimi (Yasmin) didn’t sell anything, but we had tons of people stop and say how beautiful everything was. She got about 10 new people to put on her mailing list. Hopefully she does better at wonderland, Irene’s new boutique/gallery.
Also how can I contact you through email? Thanks!
