    This is not my article. However, I am a big fan of this guy's site, and anything I can do to help him out...I will.

    Now, this is written for teachers to help them spot students that jack content, but a lot of the concepts can actually be applied to web design forums as well, particularly ppl wit poor grammer n speling dat suddenly write a university-level post on "web designing". It's a bit of a stretch as an application, but not all that far off.

    Oh dear, this reminds me of that movie "Airplane" :

    Rumack: Can you fly this plane, and land it?
    Ted Striker: Surely you can't be serious.
    Rumack: I am serious... and don't call me Shirley.
    * * * * *
    Ted Striker: Surely you're joking.
    Rumack: I'm not joking... and don't call me Shirley.
    * * * * *
    Rumack: I won't deceive you, Mr. Striker. We're running out of time.
    Ted Striker: Surely there must be something you can do.
    Rumack: I'm doing everything I can... and stop calling me Shirley!
    * * * * *
