Tom and Pshreck,

Thank you. I will no longer assume that everyone who uses the word "moran" while ranting about the idiocy of other people is stupid.

My name is James and I always use a terminal apostrophe for my stuff (i.e. James'). This is mainly because I don't think Jesus deserves his own rule.

I hate it when people spell CDs as "CD's" or MP3s as "MP3's".
