If you can't see the errors they can't hurt you.

Ok, so one thing that has been nagging me for a while is how someone who is so perfect with grammar ended up not capitalizing his name?

Poems can have non-standard punctuation, but there should be a reason for it.

The Punctuation Fairy suggests:

I am loyal and faithful to you alone.
I will not eat your homework.
I will not shed all over your house.

I will protect your hopes and dreams.
I will be with you forever.
I promise to help and protect you
From the world both real and not.

You are safe with me,
For we are friends forever.

Her good friend, the Spelling Fairy, pleads:
Please spell GRAMMAR without an E!

isaac-- Maybe he's refering to what they call "modern" or "free-style" poetry.

Websafe, if you never leave your chat messaging on how am I supposed to chat with you?

I was referring to "modern" poetry too, y'know (I mean, with cummings and Williams). But I think Eugene is right: if you're going to deviate from the standards, you need a reason. I guess you could persuade me that the lack of punctuation in that poem made it sound more canine, but I don't know whether I'd believe it.

When I put in my user ID, I didn't realize it was going to become my name. Woe is me.

"We are the Borge"??

Oh hehe, same reason I have Boni instead of Bonami... makes a great deal more sense now. Feeling a bit woozy yet? Now don't have too many of those drinks, they can do a number on ya.

Greatest man to ever molest a piano.

ewwwwwwww! Call the piano police!

Eh, not molest in that sense, but um, you would have to see him perform. One show he kept slapping this large soprano away from his piano saying she was denting it.(refering to the curve in a grand)
