Ha ha ha, that's funny. Especially as I know the guy who, in all probability, wrote that press release. He's called Kent, and he talks it like he walks it. In person his pretension is actually rather charming. He's the FS Chief Information Officer.

I must say I approve of Mired's attention to detail. It's about time people were taken to task for bad spelling and punctuation. It reminds me of the priceless 'Bank Faxback Service'. Bank are a group of London artists who managed to alienate themselves from the whole UK art community by faxing back, corrected, every single gushing, semiotically idiotic, pompous and mis-spelled gallery press release they found. The corrections ranged from simple spelling and grammar pointers to the comment 'this sentence is totally Radio 4'.

If there's money in correcting the spelling of adults, I want in.

It'll only be a temporary job until I become a rock star.
I don't expect much love or glory. Indulging my pettiness is the consolation prize.
