Somewhere, there have to be fonts and sizes specified not only for titles and headings, but the goddamned sidebar, and the fucking post text itself! I can change anything but sidebar in “Pingouin Cerise”, and everything but the post text in Manticore. What, exactly, do I want to change? The sidebar in “Pengouin Cerise” and […]

I had to wait for a while after feeding the fish; the bettas can have their lights off straight away because they are hand-fed, but the others need a little time. I haven’t managed to get in the shower yet, so I thought I’d grab a couple of California Cuties (they’re citrus fruit, not surfer […]

All together – as one. “Okay, everybody, say it with me…all together now! Homophones are words that sound the same but mean something different!” Altogether – entirely. “Homophones are great, but illiterate morons who don’t read enough to recognise them are an altogether different story because they make the Grammar Nazi cry.” Christ…it’s gonna be […]

Brake. Brake. Brake-fucking-brake. Brake! Unless it’s one of the old junkers I drove twenty years ago, a car does not have breaks; it has brakes. Unless you’re a remarkably bad driver, and in remarkably poor physical condition, you do not break at an intersection, you brake. Jesus Christ, what is wrong with people…doesn’t anyone read […]

If you’re bright enough to know the word, then for the love of all things holy (i.e. science, logic, good spelling and grammar), learn to spell it! Throws (propels rapidly through the air): The Grammar Nazi throws a large brick at your stupid, illiterate head. Throes (violent pains of suffering): If you continue to misuse […]

Headline from some paper in Oz: Slapped Iraqi soldier shoots dead two US troops Jesus, I hate that. The word “troop” is technically defined as soldiers or armed forces, but that doesn’t mean it’s entirely interchangeable with “soldiers” or “armed forces personnel”. You can have “a soldier” or “a member of the US Army/Navy/Air Force/Marines”, […]

Please, somebody just fucking KILL ME. After my bitch-blog went down, I thought about calling “tech support” (HAH!) but there were so many people ahead of me that the fucking phone would have grown into the side of my head, so I thought I’d give their live chat a shot. For some reason, I always […]

I heard about her when it happened a couple of years ago, but forgot about it until I was looking for something this morning and came across a reference to it on a YT clip. Joanna, I still think you’re a fucking worthless attention whore and although I don’t know (or care) where you are, […]

Okay, so I don’t actually hate anyone, including your stupid self, but I do harbour an enormous, intense dislike for you, both you personally, and those like you. “I set up my aquarium and it looked just perfect–so beautiful, and it really made a nice addition to the room décor! A few of the fish […]

I got my Charter email address early in 2001, I think. Since cable broadband was still relatively new here back then, I had no problem getting my initials and surname as an address even though my surname is roughly as common as dirt. A few years later, I started getting mail addressed to Leonard and/or […]
