Someone should write a book about the funny misunderstandings that occur when people leave out the comma in that and other sentences and why a proper understanding of grammar (hi flinty) is so important. Maybe on the cover of it they could have a panda with a gun or something. Food for thought.

Sort of apropos of this book concept, I am currently reading a book of David Foster Wallace's essays, Consider the Lobster And Other Essays. I know I'm late to the DFW party around here but he is just a fantastic writer and funny as hell. In one piece about a dictionary of American usage, he states that his family has a "nickname à clef for a really extreme usage fanatic," called a "SNOOT." He says this stands for either Sprachgefühl Necessitates Our Ongoing Tendance" or "Syntax Nudniks Of Our Time," depending on whom in his family one asked.

I'm conditionally putting you back on the possible favorite list again. Flash a tit or three and you might get bumped higher than Muggs. Ironically, had Muggs not flashed a tit or three, he likely would have ranked higher.

No matter who you are or what your body looks like, there is absolutely no way you could ever sit in these and look attractive.
