Well, yes, I suppose 'your' being edgy
with 'you're' misspellings and deliberately
fractured grammar

- and it does convey a certain voice on
the page: generous and collaborative
readers won't care,

will give you the benefit of their doubt,
believing that you know the rules and break them
just for effect.

The fact is, despite the gifts you have,
they're completely wasted because you just
don't care enough.

Ah, but you think it does matter, 3Leaf, therefore no need for blushes. No shame in making mistakes - everyone does after all. It's whether people go to the trouble of trying to eliminate them or not.

Actually no, CM, I know that you think it matters too.
