Interesting list, but your use of punctuation is the pits. If you cleaned up your punctuation, it would be considerably easier to read.

Joe: English is not my mother tongue, but that's no excuse. If you would be so kind as to give a few pointers in your comment (or an email) as to how you would rephrase (or "re-punctuate"?) some sentences I'd love to learn.

# Punctuation looked fine to me

Well, I've only spoken English for the 43 years since I was born - in Illinois :)

Your punctuation looked fine to me, and it read well. Nice post!

Great points Roy, I do like the Developers as Craftsmen analogy (as espoused by The Pragmatic Programnmer). We do as a group have a danger to become prima-donnas though, I know I do!

This stuff costs money. Offshore Indian programmers offer a cost savings of 50% right off the top (salary).

Instant company savings!

As far as our management is concerned, end of discussion..

Great post...

I couldn't stop myself to come back n comment on the punctuation issues, after i got this today:

Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in
waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht
the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a total
mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the
huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a
wlohe.

How interesting is human mind...
