| <ajiav> I think punctuation is okay, spelling, too. Grammar is the fun thing to play with. |
|

|
| <3Suns> They're about the size of pistachios, guyp. Not exactly convenient, even if they did taste good. |

| <Nick> "Grammar is the fun thing to play with." Shame on you ending the sentence with a preposition! Playing with grammar is fun to do! |
