Angel: “I’m starting to see why RB has a hard time with grammar.”

Demon: “Too many damned rules!”

Angel: “Exactly.”

Demon: “Too many damned things to remember!”

Angel: “It even mentions that most errors that people have to correct are comma usage, so RB isn’t alone.”

Demon: “I say scrap the whole system. Grammar is nothing but rules, and rules are bullshit.”

Angel: *sigh* “Demon, rules are necessary for certain situations.”

Demon: “Says Miss Goody-Goody. I say: Let Anarchy Rein!!“

Angel: “Of course you do.”
