Thanks, Frank. I've bookmarked this site for easy access when I need a quick check of the rules. Looking through the contents, I'm somewhat surprised that some of these are still an issue in English usage. However, I will readily admit that the inability of some of my coworkers to grasp the "a/an" concept frequently causes me some level of frustration.
Maybe with the help of this site, there's hope for them yet.

I agree.
I think I'll go have a apple.

That would certainly be an historic occasion. It will have a great affect on all of our lives.

Yeah, bookmark here as well. That's a fantastic find. Great reference. I used to have some shareware that would save a webpage, plus the whole first layer of links. If I can find it, I'm saving an offline version of that page, too.
Is it geeky that I kind of enjoyed just browsing the page and reading the entries?

Thanks Cap'n.
This will be a great help as annual evaluation season is upon us.
I always like to include a word, phrase, or unique
usage of language that will force my ranking superiors to
"look it up", and (erroneously) think I'm much smarter than they think I am.
(Now, I'll use it to check the use of the word 'usage' )

If it is, then we can jump off Geek Mountain together and hold hands on the way down.
Guess that would leave IMWAN's Speaker of the House in charge around here. Do we have one of those?

And when you've finished all those, make sure you brush up on these, Cap...er...Sisko, I mean.

I find these extremely helpful, especially in online forums.
Hey, everyone, new guy here. Nice to make your acquaintances.

You're Welcome. I wouldn't suggest pulling them out in an argument with the wife though. They tend not to care what fallacies their arguments are based on. Ask me how I know.

Rationale is not your ally in an argument with the wife.

Uh, that was more of a rhetorical "ask me how I know", not the imperative. And, that would be the FIRST wife. She excelled at the Straw Man and the Slippery Slope.

You're just trying to build anticipation for this story you clearly must share. That's fine. We'll wait.
For now ...

Instead, I'll just be happy it's there. And share its existence with others.
I notice they capitalize "Internet". I had been told "InterNet."
