1. One Question

Was Matcom and GopIsEvil anywhere around?

3. No but the grammar police are here

Sir, I will have to cite you for improper use of a singular verb. Here is a complimentary 'were' from the DU Department of Verbal Miscues.

5. Okay

Chained to dusty old tomes to re-educate" myself in the "proper" use of the English language outside of my "ken."

"Ya rite like ya talk to git an ideal twixt the bull 'n the sow."

Loosely translated, it means to write the way you talk and think to communicate an idea the way you think others should appreciate without offending anyone other than the "Language Posse."

6. We in the DU Grammar Law Enforcement Agency have a thankless job, sir

You're lucky everyone doesn't follow your rules--for example I speak an impenetrable Creole patois in my everyday life. It's a rare enough dialect in the twin cities, but my Scottish heritage is too proud to deny.
