I spelled something wrong, and if I had the chance I would put a period where I put a comma. I find the spelling error to be ironic, and so wanted to comment on it there, but I knew that would ruin the randomness of the thread. I'll also cop to my post being borderline meta to the topic and therefore uncomfortably approaching linearity (though I only realized that after I had composed it).
