warpath's Journal: My New Friend

I just added ThatMadeNoSense to my /. friends list. I'm guessing he's soon to become an unpopular guy, but he really cracks me up. I think he's already a foe of a friend. Oh well.

I think he's fighting the good fight. I'm certainly no English major, but the carnage which is unleashed upon the English language here on Slashdot is disturbing. I'm not talking about 1337 or txt speak, but just general butchering.

Most often, it's mis-used words that are the problem. "Then" when they mean "than." "Your" for "you're". You get the idea.

Anyhow, it's not like everyone has to be perfect. Everyone makes mistakes occasionally. Slashdot just seems to have SO many of these problems that it's sort of gratifying to watch this masked vigilante work. It's not like he's attacking anyone, he's just pointing out the errors.

If I ever get nabbed by ThatMakesNoSense (and it is indeed possible) then I'll chuckle and say, "ya got me." Either that or I'll get all hypocritical and move him to my foes list after cursing at him. hmm.
