August 13, 2006: OCD Man Says: Watch Those Commas!
I'm told from time to time that I am needlessly picky about grammar. Usually I am told that by people whose grammar I am correcting; it's funny how that works out. But I really like our books to be right. I like contracts to be right, too.
And in Canada right now, there's a company that's going to spend more than two million dollars extra because they didn't pay attention to one comma in a contract. Read it and weep. Or giggle, if you like.
-- Steve Jackson
Warehouse 23 News: A Fist Full Of Cards
This town ain't big enough for the two to four of us . . . If you wanna prove that you're the biggest and baddest Cowpoker in town, you'll need more than just guts. You'll need a lot of heavily armed friends. Oh, and cattle. Someone else's cattle, preferably.
