This is so cute. Excerpted from an e-mail from my mom:
Even though I am sure that it was not my opinion you were seeking, I am still telling you that capitalizing is much better and easier to read. Also the reduced usage of the f… word particularly improves your writing.
aww.. moms, ya gotta love ‘em.
So my current project at work is to write (and edit, and design, and build) a user manual. It’s kinda fun just because i have never done it before. I can still be into my work without pledging allegiance to the company, right? Once you become an adult, the line between “looking at the bright side” and “selling out” get blurrier and blurrier…
If you ever find yourself writing a user manual, check out this article:
AskTog: How to Publish a Great User Manual. It’s quite good. And even if you’re not, it’s kinda interesting. Check it if you have a coupla minutes and some spare bandwidth.
