Is this an appropirate place to bitch about the monster I'm editing this week? IT'S IN ENGLISH PEOPLE, NOT GERMAN! YOU DON'T HAVE TO CAPITALIZE EVERY NOUN!! AND THIS IS A REPORT THAT'S BEING SUBMITTED TO THE LEGISLATURE. STOP FUCKING ABBREVIATING THINGS THAT SHOULDN'T BE ABBREVIATED! (CAN'T YOU TYPE OUT, OR AT LEAST CUT AND PASTE, THE WORDS "DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES"? IS YOUR TIME SO LIMITED THAT YOU CAN ONLY MANAGE "DD"? THAT'S A CUP SIZE, FOR GOD'S SAKE!) OR DID YOU ABBREVIATE EVERYTHING KNOWING THAT I'M SO ANAL THAT I'D GO BACK AND CORRECT IT FOR YOU? YEAH, GOOD PLAN. I FELL FOR IT, AND NOW YOU'RE OFF IN PALM SPRINGS AT A CONFERENCE. FUCKERS.
I figure there are enough sentence fragments on that blog to kindle a bonfire fueled by every lead-off "And" I've ever dropped. And that's quite a few.
