I couldn't. My inner editor earns my paycheck... I spend so much time a week LOOKING at this stuff and correcting it that when I see it ANYWHERE, I start going batshit.
I keep looking at this and bits of it I agree with and bits of it just make me twitch.
Incidentally, you may be the only person I can think of who a) uses more commas than I do (maybe), and b) follows my rule about what name the POV character uses to refer to himself more scrupulously than I do.
(Also, the purpose of netspeak is so that you can identify which people are the kind of people who would use netspeak without irony.)
*chuckling* I love my commas, especially parenthetical ones. Well, actually, I love parentheses, but one of my teachers made me stop using them indiscriminately. So it's the commas at least half the time now.
And now I must really hope none of my students ever figure out who I am on lj and read this. ^_^;
