Which is a shorthand term for thoughts perhaps worthy of expounding upon were they in the hands of a more energetic individual. These are rescued almost exclusively from various and sundry email messages dashed off in reply to some topic which piqued the interest of my internal pedant. They are far from polished -- or even complete in most cases -- and I apologize for that. I hope at least a few are thought provoking.

Determining how firmly tongue is pressed in cheek in each case is left to the reader as an exercise.

If I've failed to gore your personal ox, please let me know his name and I'll take a shot. I'm attempting to be an equal opportunity curmudgeon. :-)
