CASE 2: Take Katie Robbenson. (English alert: Fragment anyone?

Well, actually, that's not a fragment at all. It's a perfectly grammatical sentence, like "Eat pizza." It's also a perfectly correct idiom meaning "For example, let us examine the case of Katie Robbenson."

Err...that didn't come out quite right. Not that I'm implying Ookla is Gay or anything.

Err.. that didn't come out right either. Not that there's anything wrong with it even if he/she/it is.

It's not connected to the paragraph before it in any way, and is a horrible way to introduce a new paragraph.

You're right though.

"I disagree."

It does exactly what it's supposed to do. It introduces a new example exactly like it should.

This is hilarious. You have to read the whole thing. It just keeps getting more and more ridiculous.

This one is really good too, where someone actually got $3.00 from a scammer.

ok, this one's really fricking weird. This is an actual spam I got. It is not one of those fake spams trying to combine them all.

Subject: Interesting article: Is your love hard enough?
body: Chronic Deprssion: Do you know the signs? Quit now!

Like, what are they marketing to me? Vicodin? Anti-depressants? Stop smoking? What?

In looking through my bulk e-mail for my mothers e-mail, I had the child-like inquisitive nature to open one of them. And here's how it went:

"autosuggestible andorra chapman breakdown adore adsorb cauliflower
bongo biplane arthritis berman bahama architectural acclamation chamberlain
abstract aid arithmetic chain avoid atreus blend apart buckle"

Yeah.... that's a bit, abstract.

Also, I saw one that said, "The Blue Pill." Me being the geek that I am, thought, "hmmm, maybe it's something from the Matrix game, or something related. The subject was "make your lover know you care." Then I thought, "Oh, that blue pill..."
