It's 'NutNews time again. As usual, I'm trying, but failing, to do the coding without actually reading the content. (I mean, forget wars and bank collapses and the infrastructure crumbling around us. We have got to do something about our schools.)

Jason's annual Argonut Address almost put me to sleep. I've never read prose so labored--not even my own when I'm trying my hardest. Among other things, it seems clear that our Jason was terrorized by a comma as a child. Or maybe just by a native English speaker.

There is one article, about a fraud warning, where I honestly can't tell if the companies named are the perpetrators or the victims. I filed a complaint with NewBoss Anais, but she reread the fraud article and said it made sense, so maybe I'm just too picky when I think that just because it's possible to understand something if you read it three times is no reason to make everyone read it three times. Just rewrite the stupid thing. Especially if you grabbed the text, word for word, from a website not written by a native English speaker.

Since I inadvertently woke up at 6:15 this morning and was at the office by 7:08, maybe I'm just tired and crabby, but I want to repeat how glad I am that I decided to take my name off of that newsletter. I would just die of mortification if anyone thought I'd written a single word of it.
