How about this one I just found under the KAOS AND RELATED PLANES AND INFO.

"Might be a miss print though."


I'm left wondering if she's cute.

Now come to think of it shouldn't the title of the section be changed from KAOS AND RELATED PLANES AND INFO to KAOS, RELATED PLANES AND INFO. I'll even forgive them the capitals if the comma is corrected.

You left out a comma: "KAOS, RELATED PLANES, AND INFO." (At least, that's the way I was taught!).

Yah...pick, pick, pick! Some of us are a bit "geeky" when it comes to spelling, punctuation, and grammar. (heh, heh)

Actually I was taught in school that the second comma as inserted by you was optional. Checking my copy of Warriner's English Grammar and Composition and my copy of The Century Collegiate Handbook I find that your view of the world is correct. With copyright dates of 1950 and 1963 it's been that way for a long time too.

Recently it seems to me having run into it repeatedly that there is a continuing confusion between seems and seams with the later being used in place of the former.

Seams are the stitch line where two pieces of fabric are joined.
