  • Don’t worry, your data will remain private. We’ll have it, and we’ll sell it, of course, but that’s our right. Also, we might be hacked when some bad guy guesses our Pa$$worD, or we make an oopsie and leave the entire server open and unencrypted. But, other than that, your driver’s license is safe with us.

    If you’re going to the trouble of writing something, my assumption is that you want to communicate. We can only communicate clearly with each other, if we all agree on and use the same word spellings and grammar rules. Otherwise, why bother?

    One of the more frustrating things I see daily is titles that don’t make it clear whether OP is asking a question, or about to present an explanation.

    “Why my dogs throw up in the house” instead of “Why do my dogs throw up in the house*?*”

    (I don’t know how to italicize the question mark.)











  • Context for those who don’t follow such trends:

    PCP Overdose

    The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) states that the effects of PCP are dependent on the dose taken:
    Lower doses of PCP are the typical doses on the street, and they are usually between 1 mg and 6 mg. At these doses, the effects are similar to alcohol intoxication.
    Moderate doses of PCP, between 6 mg and 10 mg, produce significant psychosis, hyperactivity, and issues with irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, muscle rigidity, and elevated temperature rates.
    Very large doses exacerbate the above effects, and they are also likely to produce comatose states, catatonia, and seizures. Extremely large doses, above 200 mg, can be fatal.

    (Yes, I chose the word “trends” to be a bit ironic.)
