I still recommend Pinckert's Practical Grammar. He's a snarky ass and fun to read. That said, oh my god ew copyediting. Hate hate hate. FUCK commas. (I'm totally at work writing all this, AHAHAHAH irony.) Might have to pick up the eatshootsleavestootiredtotype book eventually, if I ever feel the need to read another grammar book.

.... no apostrophe, even tho it's a shortened form of recommendation? Hm. Formal English is stupidly complex. It's hopeless to memorize all the rules, good reference books are godly. Yay.

Also, I wish for the death of whom with the fire of a thousand burning suns. I'm also getting my way in this since it is starting to die out. Bweehehehehehe....
