5/31    Is there anything grammatically incorrect with "Thank you so much"?
        I always thought "so" is accompanied by "that". Then again,
        my grammar sucks.
        \_ Only a complete asshole would grammatically nitpick that
           phrase if it were said to them sincerely.
        \_ I am so tired of grammar Nazis.
        \_ On a related not, I hate people who say this line all the time.  To
           me, this line shoule be reserved to moments when one greatly
           appreciates what the other has done, and it should be said from the
           heart.  People (like my wife) who say this several times a day are
           just depreciating this line to the level of "Thanks man."
           \_ Thank you so much for saying this, I also hate this but
              that's because it's grammatically incorrect and it drives
              me NUTS to hear other people say it.
        \_ http://www.suck.com/daily/98/05/08
           \_ This is cool!!!  Gotta show this to my wife.  Now, would I lock
              myself out of career advancement if I hang this up outside my
              cubicle?  I'm SW engineer.
              \_ Only because it has that smell of 1998 all over it.
              \_ I miss http://suck.com .  "hey thanks, I really appreciate it"
              \_ Probably not. Making fun of sales is a time honored
                 engineering past time. But it is kind of snarky.
           \_ Why is such behavior called "overprofessionalism"?  It has
              nothing to do with how versatile one is with one's profession.
              I'd rather call it "hypocrisy".
              \_ Nothing hypocritical about it. I call it "manners". However,
                 you will realize why it is called "overprofessionalism"
                 when you realize what having "a professional attitude" is.
                \_ yes, overprofessionalism is where manners begin and spiral
                   out of control...
              \_ being oblivious is not a virtue!
        \_ Troll on you BEARS. 1st and 10 troll it again, go Bears!
        \_ Why do you think that is gramamatically incorrect? It isn't.

1/13    I've fixed http://csua.com so it has a bunch more useless comments
        after November. It's delayed by about 8 hours. However the 24 hour
        caffeinated update is no-op because there's a dependency on curl
        which is not installed on the new Soda and I'm too lazy to
        compile one (and have mostly lost interest to maintain the
        archiver). Anyways, troll away you pathetic legacy users!  -kchang
