Someone said something to me this weekend, and I finally realised last night (horah, insomnia when I only had 4 hours to sleep) thats what had been bugging me all weekend, annoyingly. My brain has a lot to answer for sometimes.
Anyway, ramble ramble, yadda yadda, this thing they said, I feel like I ought to say something, but the context in which they said it could possible be misconstrued by me or it could be just me not understanding the situation. Since any response I give could be seen as somewhat critical and I'm not one really to want to cause hassle. More anaylsis required I think...
This has been yet another vague ramble, thank you, move along, nothing to see here - commas are your friends.

No; embrace semi-colons; they are the way forward!

When I did history at school we had a teacher who used to dictate to us, and he'd say: only one more sentence to go and then recite a lengthy paragraph, SEMI-COLON, and then another. I don't know if half of his stuff was grammatically correct, but he was a cool teacher; was in a band called Thousand Bomber Fonz; Kudos for the name alone.

I don't remember many of my teachers, a couple were cool, several were mad or driven mad by us.

The most important thing to most teachers is biscuits.

What do you reckon the staffroom at Hogwarts is like?

Mad-Eye Moody:
"I would like to remind whoever has taken my coffee that I am immune to 17 kinds of poison and always add at least three to any of my own drinks to build up resistance. And the same goes for my chocolate Hob-Nobs."

Argh! Because I'm paranoid as hell, I now think I've said something offensive to you.

If it was me, just say, please. I'll try to sort it out.

Nope not you at all. :)

Thankfully the Zen break earlier today in my LJ has relaxed my mind on the whole thing. "Know thyself before knowing others" so I'm not that hassled by the thing anyway now, still a little irksome however.
