--I know that people are capable of anything, from the ultimate evil to the ultimate good. So don't be surprised!

--I know that the IRS sucks!

--I know I love my children, and they love me.

I know that I am smarter than nearly everyone else I have to deal with.

I also know that I just ended a sentence with a preposition, and I don't care.

My wife told me that her mantra before group insurance enrollment meetings was "I'm smart, you're stupid... I'm smart, you're stupid..."

Don't worry about it. Most prescriptivists that have any clue are dropping that rule.

wolf - that's interesting, because I think that everyone is smarter than me in some way.

It's not always easy to see what that way is, but it sure does keep me humble while I'm trying to figure it out.

and this makes you better than them somehow? being humbler? the only true humility is to admit that you are better than everyone else and accept it. Only then can you deal honestly with them. Acting 'humbler' is an expression of superior humility. you cad.

Because of the hole we may use the wheel.
Clay is moulded into a vessel;
Because of the hollow we may use the cup.
Thus tools come from what exists,
But use from what does not.

Well, I had no idea what "prescriptivists" are -- but now I know.

I know that no matter what happens, I will be dissatisfied.
