Glass houses, stones, etcetera. :) I’m a recovering prescriptivist grammar nut and I STILL occasionally goof up on things like “like / as if” and “less / fewer.” 😉

Proper writer? Pah. It’s like being a grown up. You never *really* want to be that because it would ruin all the fun. 😉

Pfaugh! That rules me out.

As one in the midst of paralysis by analysis, I can (ashamedly) confirm the truth of your statement, Bats. It’s the ultimate act of failure because one can’t even be bothered to raise one’s hands and cry “Surrender!” Who can reach perfection? Far better to make something the best you can, run it by a few trusted colleagues, and then put it out there. It may not get the result you hope, but at least you’ve done *something* and that’s a worthy goal.

Now if I can just *DO* it…
