After reading your grammatical expertise as evidenced by your third atrociously written sentence, what indeed would you know about good writing?

Counting 1,2,3 in post 4, I come to this one: "This article may be about something, but hang me if I can tell what it is or why I should even bother reading it."

Now, pray tell, what is ungrammatical? "Hang me" has teh verb in the imperative mood. I meant it literally. Get a rope and put me out of my misery. As far as I can tell I misspelled nothing and I put the comma just where it belongs. And to emphasize. I am allowed to be critical of an article that does not have a point, like this one doesn't. Especially when he starts off all high-brow like quoting George Santayana and all that nonsense. Who is he kidding?
