Thank you, Jeff Deck.

Although I've "grown up" on the Internet and can munge my text with the best of the LOLCats, I still manage to be a bit of a grammar snob.  Misplaced apostrophes, the commonly errant comma, and the rampant use of which readily make me cringe and wonder whether professionals read literary prose any more, let alone comprehend it.  Thanks to Brad Borevitz, we can even see that the State of The Union addresses have steadily declined to nearly an eighth-grade reading level (per the Flesch-Kincaid Readability Index; way to go, GWB!).

 Jeff Deck is a man on a mission, and with him goes all the best wishes I can muster.  (I should start carrying some markers and Wite-Out®.)
