I have good punctuation

I would like to remind everyone that I’m a pedant and actually have good punctuation. And if I slip up and I’m able to, I’ll probably edit it. The fact that the name of this site is and has been continuously since I first named it ‘Cassowaries Rant’, therefore, indicates that it was intentional. Now that we’ve eliminated ignorance as a posibility, we have two options left:

  • I purposely decided to give it a badly punctuated and spelt name; or,
  • ‘Rant’ is being used as a verb, rather than a noun, and ‘Cassowary’ is being used as a plural, rather than a possessive.

You can assure that the former is not the case. The little comment thing I have in the top-right corner of every page? It’s there because I wanted to kinda hint about that.

Alex, fix up your link! (And Mason, don’t correct me when I tell you something. As many of my Uni friends can attest to (i.e. will refute, but they are slowly learning! God knows I’ve told them offen enough!), I’m never wrong.)

(Also, side note: I’ve gone through and accessiblised this page. I’m almost certain it’s AA (priority 2)–standard. Bobby gives me AAA, but I’m not sure that I pass all its user checks. Sure, I find it highly unlikely that anyone blind happens to read this site (and if you do, email me and tell me what it’s like), but it’s the thought that counts, isn’t it? Also, I can’t wait till XHTML/2.0 is out. The semantics/syntax of its <p> tag is so much better. I hate having to break a paragraph to put in a list.)
