You are a GRAMMAR GOD!


Congratulations! If your mission in life

is not already to preserve the English

tongue, it should be. You can smell a

grammatical inaccuracy from fifty yards.

Your speech is revered by the underlings,

though some may blaspheme and call you a

snob. They're just jealous. Go out there

and change the world.

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
Eleanor Roosevelt (1884 - 1962)

Wanting to meet an author because you like his work is like wanting to meet a duck because you like paté.
-Margaret Atwood, novelist and poet (b. 1939)
