Why do you insist upon torturing me so? Does your cruelty know no bounds? If you have any heart at all, please cease and desist!
I am referring to this email, reproduced here in its entirity:
Dear Scorpions Fans,
the folling dates have been confirmed:
June, 3 2005 Freiburg Germany Messehalle
June, 4 2005 Krefeld Germany KönigPalast
July, 9 2005 Frankfurt / Main Germany Waldstadion
October, 7 2005 Wolfratshausen Germany Automeile
Gah! And if that is not torture enough, several more emails followed containing links to buy tickets for the shows!
How many times do I have to tell you that I live in the U.S.? I have no passport and very little money. As much as I'd like it, I just can't flit off to Germany to see these shows. And while I'm ranting, exactly how many people on the ENGLISH mailing list do you really think can afford to do so?
But rest assured, my dear, that the first thing I'd do if I were ever able to make that trip to Deutschland would be to give you a bit of tutoring in the use of the English language!
Lesson #1: The first word in a sentence should be capitalized!
Lesson #2: The word is "following", not "folling"!
Lesson #3: The comma should be placed after the day, not the month!
The Chief of the Grammar Police has spoken!
Please note that I did not call myself the term that I normally use, out of respect for you.
