    If you are marketing yourself as a serious news outlet for technical news, then being sloppy with punctuation and grammar is not really something that looks good for your image.

    thedletterman - Sorry about the above flame. I misread your comment - obviously you did notice. That does make you the odd one out though...

    It makes your pompous, patronizing tone much less effective when you spell "grammar" as "grammer".

    fizzle bar to dog taco lick?
    Couldn't understand that? Perhaps it is because it was gibberish. Perhaps had we agreed on some basic rules of communication it would have been intelligible. But then that would make us "grammar nazis" wouldn't it?
    It drives me mad when people insist "don't need no grammer, us talk reel gud neway". Perhaps, for the moment. But without any rules for communication whatsoever we have no way to communicate at all
    Worse still, the same people who whine about grammar (or often "grammer") nazis are the same people who exceptionally rigid about programming language syntax. (eg. A discussion in the recent past insisted .NET's C++ variant isn't reall C++ because it lacks features A, B, & C. [ I have forgotten the specifics at the moment.]) Why can they understand that computer programming requires an inflexible syntax, but think humans can communicate without any rules at all?

    And before someone brings up the argument "You forgot the 'are" between 'who' and 'exceptionally', you ain't got no grammer nohow neither so shut up!", I know that the word was omitted. It was not intentional.
