My most demoralising day as a police employee was reading a self-congratulatory intranet news article about how some 20-year-old had been successfully prosecuted and sentenced to a prison term for pointing a laser pointer at a police helicopter. Apparently the judge acknowledged the kid's lack of any previous criminal history and the likelihood that he was just messing about and didn't intend to put anyone in danger, but felt that a message needed to be sent. For goodness' sake If they're that dangerous just fucking ban them, don't ruin someone's life for playing with a toy.

True, but he also talked about making an effort to write clearly. Correct grammar is part of that, but using the right letters helps too.

I don't know what you'd achieve by telling HIV-infected children that many adults contract HIV through their own carelessness. Likewise I can't see the point of telling them there's no Santa Claus. Doesn't make it less true though.

Well, quoit.
