Indeed, Anon. I certainly like it when someone takes the time to savor the language on each of "my" pages. Too often, we speed read through connections and miss the little things. The quirks. The unique bits. eh?
But, you needs must be smacked. Abuse of (it's) is a Cheek pet peeve!

I'll dig up my favourite Dilbert later when I have time and try to post it- maybe tomorrow. Clipped it 10 or 12 years ago. It's a classic. ;-)
p.s. Sometimes lonely is good. You get a lot more work done.... ;-)
Hmmmm, Dilbert and Dogbert talk to each other like an old married couple. Disturbing . . .
(Spent weekend with in-laws. Viewing someone else's marriage from the outside . . . )
Great post!
So true. It's profundity lies in who we are, books truly longing to be read.
I relish taking in a good, fascinating volume myself--even re-reading it over time to discover something new I hadn't before.

Its... Monty Python's Flying Cir-CUS
I do know how you love yer possessive third-person neutered pronouns.
Wrongo, Whitenoise. The word "its" is referring profundity's nature, so "its" is possessive and no apostrophe should be present.
Maybe your both write.
Oh Sheena, you make an excellent point. But wouldn't that be 'bolth' write? (one I'm especially peevish about : )
Really, Cheek?
I read that as "It is... Monty Python's Flying Cir-CUS" , but I just stoopid pile-it.
Shack Shaker Alert!

White noise blew that one. Its in the way it was used was definitely possessive!
