that when I'm rich and famous (or rich, or famous...or just gainfully employed for that matter) that I'm going to start up a column in which I will completely destroy any idiot who somehow manages to publish something in something with the words or phrase "revert back." you can't revert back people. that's redundant. when you revert, you go back to something. you don't revert back. that's like me saying that I'm not never going to eat pie. you know what that means? it mean's I'm going to eat pie. it's a double negative...
now maybe "revert back" isn't quite the same thing (well, it's entirely different), but it's still a stupid grammar error and it drives me crazy when I see it in books or newspapers.
god, between reverting back and making mute points, I'm pretty sure I have my career set right there. and don't even get me started on the way people mix up their, there and they're.

if a mute point falls in the wood's and theirs no one they're to here it, does it still make a sound? Sorry, I'm just trying to overexaggerate your point, without reverting back to proper use of the apostrophe or the english language in general. This oughtta be like nails on a chalkboard for you. . .
Also, in the other post, you should take the two 00's out of iso1600 and put them in the word n00b. That's how the gamers write it. If you did that your should would have exposed nicely with a longer shutter speed. . .
yeah, nails on a chalkboard indeed. that being said, I still loled.
and yeah, I realized after posting that I didn't have n00b right, but figured only one person would call me on it. I was right.
