Heh. Protip: When criticizing style as a point of argument, make sure you don't accidentally a word.
I'd actually recommend against criticizing style at all, unless someone's paying you to do it for them. It's hard to do in good faith. But thanks for the help, anyway.
- chernevik 14y agoAny reader will know what I mean, which for my style here is enough, because I am not the one arguing for compliance. And I'm not criticizing style "in good faith" but to make a point: the spirit of a rule is more important than its letter. Your agreement is obvious in the annotated violations of common rules of usage and argument. I don't really care about your grammar. But putting words in my mouth irritated me enough to craft a snarky response.
