    Quiz for grammar Nazis

    (if "Nazi" is in the title, does it mean Goodwin's Law has been pre-invoked?)

    But anyways...

    If you are an expertly annoying grammarian, or just a fan of Lemony Snicket, here's a little quiz for you to cut your teeth on:

    QUIZ: Can You Find The Mistakes In These Sentences?







    (For the record, and also for humorless literalists who are almost certainly going to pounce on me given any halfway coherent excuse, I know it's a joke. Yes, I know. I posted it anyway. Try having fun. Nobody dies from chuckling.)
    Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

    Yes....

    Once I make up a law and con someone going by the name of Goodwin into informing the public of it.

    Know any Goodwins off hand?
    life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.

    Yoda: Dark Rendezvous

    "But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

    John Rowlands, The Grey King by Susan Cooper

    "You come from the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve", said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth; be content."

    Aslan, Prince Caspian by CS Lewis

      But they were doughnuts of darkness. Evil damned doughnuts, tainted by the spawn of darkness.... Which could obviously only be redeemed by passing through the fiery inferno of my digestive tract.

        Did you miss the deer farting video I posted, or are you one of the rare people who doesn't laugh at farts?
