Another Title Change
This effects very few because no one really reads this exercise in self-centrism: I've changed the title again to further underscore the purpose of this blog because some of you just aren't getting it.
I write things that are meaningful and important to me; you ignore the deeper semantic meaning and go straight for the syntax errors. With each one you find, I get a little closer to crying. It's like an easter egg hunt that destroys my self-esteem.
And since the spell-check button on my pages doesn't work at all, it would appear that this is an officially sanctioned event of blogger.com.

So, let me get this straight: The Romans/Jews/Confucius/whoever killed Christ. Then, two days later, he COMES BACK TO LIFE! They make a holiday called Easter to commerate the event, and you can't even be bothered to capitalize it?
Seriously, though, I'm just giving you a hard time. When my girlfriend isn't here to read my articles after I post them, most don't get any spell-checking at all. A lot of them are so long that I'm kind of tired of them and dont' want to read them ten more times for spelling and grammar. By the time I take another look a few days later (and fix the mistakes), everybody who is *going* to read it already has, and it's moot.
I wouldn't worry about it too much. Even if I *didn't* like what you were writing, I think the implied social contract is binding enough that I would *have* to keep reading it.
You know what makes this blog awesome, though (without any consideration of the content)? You know how to use the emdash, -- , or whatever it's called. I can't use it correctly to save my life. I just don't understand it. I must have some sort of horrible accident when I was young that damage the part of my brain whose job it was to forumulate sentences using dashes. I guess it (the accident) would've also had to have damaged the part of my brain that would be in charge of remembering the accident. If Mr. Sather were able the read the number of clauses offset by commas that I load into the average sentence, he'd punch me in the back and then step on my fingers while I was down.
*sigh*
That was me a second ago.
