Well, Little Hawk, it occurs to me, serendipitously, and perhaps somewhat posthumously (well, not really), that the inclusion, nay, in fact, the creative insertion of a new thread to foist vast quantities of the kind of profound and even, dare I say it, pendulous maxims that bestraddle this most poignant of threads, would be a decidedly expedient, if vexing, course of action.

I say go for it.

Jim Krause: that's called "uptalking," ending a sentence or statement as if it is a question...points to lack of confidence perhaps? all the kids do it, it seems.

don't even get me started (heh heh ;)! ) with the grammar stuff. I teach college students. the damn little fuckers don't read anymore. they sure as heck can't write. no clue about grammar. constant misuse of its and it's, whose and who's, they're, their and there....just for starters. Most of them are incapable of writing in an intelligent and engaging manner; when I find a rare student with actual writing ability or, gasp!! talent, it makes my freakin' month...mind you, it does not happen often.

oh and I know I did not use caps when I should have just then...get over yerself!!!
