I really need to get to bed - I've been going to sleep much too late the past few days, partly because I'm trying to teach myself Web Design, hoping to find an avenue to earn some extra income.
/Rant - Does no one proof-read anymore? I can not believe the spelling errors that I have found in published works. I've almost grown used to the typical their/there/they're, to/too, and its/it's confusion, but in these days of Word processors with auto-spell check, there is no excuse for "mooon" to make it into print. I mean, even my browser is telling me that it's spelled wrong!!! Even more embarrassing, I just read (in a best-selling book, no less) the phrase "wrought with disaster", which I can only assume that the author intended to be "fraught with disaster" How far have the mighty fallen - no longer are we producing works where the author strives to find the perfect word to express a nuanced meaning, rather, we are churning out half proofed tripe that doesn't even make grammatical sense! /Rant off
Good night all.

Awesome...welcome to the blogging world...just to warn you it is addictive! I'm glad that you is something rather than isn't!
I too hate the grammatical errors that are everywhere but then I make them frequently!
