I recently read an article that I liked because it shied away from formal punctuation and shared that it's okay to break the rules. I guess I like breaking rules. I never could do so in Catholic school without getting red marks all over the paper. When I break grammar or punctuation rules now I say "nannynannybooboo". So there!

LOL, i share your pain!
i may still bear the scarring of a thrice-folding ruler on the first two knuckles of my right hand, courtesy of sister joseta...they hurt when the weather gets funny but dang if i don't have near-perfect handwriting...that may have been where my spelling and vocabulary came from as for some punishment we had to let the dictionary fall open and copy all the words on both pages...eventually the X-Z page was earmarked but also eventually sister helen marie realized we'd done that and glued them together...
ahhh, good times, good times...
