Just to be sure: this page is meant as a joke. It is about people correcting grammar:

Good one, Cerberus!

By the way, do they really do it?

Well, in short: yes. But even without being accused of anything, they will deny it with a passion.

Good Morning Bill!

How have you been? How are you spending the holidays?

And tell me something, Bill! Why on earth are you writing tragedies(HARRY) this time of the year?

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Hello Daemon, my good friend. Well, I didn't read the story as a tragedy, just a simple macabre tale.

I did intend to give it a different ending completely, but somehow or other it morphed into the macabre.

Recently I have started four different stories and each ending was not what I had planned in the beginning. Maybe I am being "taken over" by one of your Sci-Fi entities. :-))

Bill.
