[edit] Grammar notes
AlmostReadytoFly sometimes likes to speak and write in an affected manner. This may be noticeable, but his preference for &c. over etc. will not make its way onto the the public pages.

Important note: Grammar Nazi is not a compliment. It cannot be "reclaimed" in the name of people who like readable sentences.[1] If, like me, you are one of those people, please do not associate yourself with National Socialism. If you are unlike me, you will nevertheless have heard of Godwin's Law.
