Jul. 8th, 2007 01:05 pmFollowing is a message, in part, that I sent to the Kenosha Freecycle group earlier this morning.
"> I also have several sets of speakers of the sort that you would plug in to a computer's speaker jack, Ipod, or other electronic equipment with a 1/4" stereo audio jack."
As I result I've had two people contact me already expressing interest in the Ipod I'm giving away.
This pisses me off. How can people in a modern, theoretically literate society like this one be so obtuse? How do these people manage to get by from day to day with such a poor understanding of written word? No, it's not excusable. This is your native language people. Have some respect for it. Learn the damn difference between a comma, a semi-colon, and the view from your head's vantage point inside your own colon where it seems to be firmly wedged.
