The Anal Retentive Speaks His Mind
Fantasy Flight's website has a blog-like "Rants" page, where it was probably inevitable that I would misspell the word "grammar" in a diatribe about editorial minutae. (Scroll down to "Behind the Scenes in Editor-ville;" the rants page has no permalinks.)

ha ha ha, you suck!!!
j/k on the exclamation points, I couldn't resist. You know how hard it is for me NOT to end a sentence with two spaces after the period? I actually learned to type on a typewriter in ninth grade and had that beat into me. So it's not necessary anymore, so what? Whenever I try not to I usually end up with a document with random one or two spaces after sentences because I am a major creature of habit.
I was wondering when they stopped the last comma before the "and" in a list of items. I found that out in a college business writing class and I was all, "Whatchu talkin' 'bout, teachah?"
