Default RE: Free grammar lessons!

I think a lot of the grammatical rules are very frivolous. Like, there's nothing really wrong with "You are better than me at Stepmania." Also, "oh, woe is I" doesn't flow as well as "oh, woe is me." Then again, English isn't exactly made to flow and sound pretty like certain languages.

Honestly, Squeek, I think you take this too far. If you recall, I used to not capitalize and such because I'm a lazy bastard, but I followed all the rules and did my best to spell things correctly. Only reason I've started capitalizing things is because I got tired of being hounded about it. Seriously, you're just annoying, Squeek. The only people who need to be corrected are the uber n00bers who can't spell simple things correctly and don't use any punctuation and those whose posts are entirely incoherant. Simple mistakes and ignoring little rules (like prepositions at the end of a sentence) is no big deal, seriously.

I'd've thought that you'd realize how trivial this all is, but I suppose I was mistaken.

In less-depressing news, I got a job for an online business (which sells non-electronic games, of all things!) which has taught me a lot about marketing online and all that jazz.

So now I'm on Twitter @NoahWright.
And I write the blog for their website.

Plus I do cool programming in-house that you'll never see. =O
