Quote:
Dear progressive Monitor type enthusiasts-
Many times with the visual comprehension of the writings by Larry of the British Iles, and wonderingly if he truly madly deeply purpley monkily dishwasherly the English language? But fear not the lack of commas even in excruciatingly running on sentences such as the ones in his piece about peace or as they say elsewhere, using, too, many, also, verily, irritatigly, lacking, a predicate. To be, what? Adverbs, too, usingly often suchly that they indeed certainly helpingly distractingly from OVERUSED and misplaced capitalization, FOLKS! Shine get!
If I may disagree for A moment OF YOUR time, but I can't, because confusingly the tosh is scribed by a drunkily lunatic hencefore, I am un-warily OF what IS being stated throughout. After all your base, why quotate what is NOT neceSSARILY obvious, like as the nAme of "Kirksville", do we? A winner is you, the master of unlocking!
Garry Trudeau sums it up best: "A verb, senator! We need a verb!"
And I'm not even a Lang/Lit student,

Yes, I used the name Hayfever. This was not done to protect myself, but rather because I wanted to write in-character, and Al Hayfever is a far more brash individual than I.
