I reckon this ought to be required reading for anyone intending to set pixel to LCD!

Though he left out the mistake which drives me the bat-shit-craziest: the use of apostrophes in plural's (like that - see how annoying it is?)

Posters at the BBC Have Your Say forums do that all the bloody time. In fact, the forums are riddled with grammatical and spelling errors. With the result that, however cogent such a poster's point may be, I cannot take them seriously.
Why yes, I'm a grouchy old broad, and this is my regularly-scheduled daily rant... *g*

But, like Willow's Tara, I find the low standard of the 'written' word online very depressing. And I really HATE what that standard says about the state of education in this country.

But hey - it's Friday, and I'm off for a curry and lotsa wine with a pal tonight, so what the fuck, people, apostrophize wrongly to your heart's content for the rest of the evening...*g*

Well, obviously the mobile wasn't playing itself - it's not intelligent!
But neither was the teenage toe-rag who was listening to gangsta rap at high volume on his tinny noise-box on my train today.
I forcefully suggested that he turn it off. He turned it down a bit, but that was all.
I then suggested he used his headphones. I interpreted his grunts to mean that he didn't have headphones. So, what - this is how he always listens to his music? In which case, I'm surprised at his unbruised appearance, and that his phone is still in his possession & not languishing on the the track somewhere! Because if he hadn't got off at the next stop, I was going to snatch the damn thing from him & throw it out the window...

On a more pleasant subject - did anyone see Recovery last night? I thought it was very good.
