You're right, I do owe you an apology. I shouldn't have done that the other night... I guess it's one of those examples of how the semi-anonymity of the Internet leads me to do things I wouldn't out here in the so-called "real world." I'm sure that anyone able enough to find their way to Usenet has at least some modicum of intelligence (that's why I spend time posting here instead of on random Eva boards). Don't take it personally: I'm a grammar Nazi. I get pissed off* when the Associated Press makes mistakes in their stories, which happens to be about once a day. And I actually enjoy re-writing things, especially while I'm reading books or watching movies. Sort of a mental game to improve my own writing.** I'm hoping to try out being an editor at a publishing house sometime. Of course, I forget that criticism is invited by the author in those situations. Oh, and for an example of a poorly written post by me (at least in terms of attempted humor), have a look at the thread "New Movie Poster (or "I'm at it again")." -- Drinian * colloquialism, -10 points ** sentence fragment, -20 points
