    We should find out the energy difference between a text with serial commas, and one without them. Then we shall begin a campaign advocating the serial comma as a method of losing weight (if supplemented by proper exercise and eating habits).

    Poetry where I
    is replaced by i
    is poetry that I
    cannot respect.

    I would rather read grammatical correct poetry than write it.
    If I read grammatically incorrect poetry, then I have to hurt somebody.

    Of dwarf-drink
    I draw horn-fuls.
    Oðin's mead
    I make in barrels.
    Bold Kvasir's
    blood-lettings
    are running free -
    flooding the plain.

    I drop beats
    like Draupnir rings.
    Foemen flee;
    form relentless,
    I strike strife-
    stags from life-path:
    my verse-form
    violence slaying.

    Spitting fire,
    I spare no weak-
    ass wordsmiths -
    winning battles
    with verse-shield,
    my verb-hafted
    spear, and mouth
    of many nouns.

    When the poetry is flowing like the synth of some house
    and the meter is consistent like the beats of DeadMau5
    Then I simply can't abide
    when you bust up a rhyme
    by starting a broken stanza with a lowercase "i".

    To be a good poet, you need an above-average, slavish devotion to grammar and syntax, so that you can know when and how to break the rules for effect.

    To be a bad poet, you have to be lazy or stupid with your grammar and oftentimes break the rules without knowing it.

    This goes for pretty much any art.

    This is why we will be in the feasting halls!

    Note: dodgy embed in order to get it to start and end at the right time.

    Though, to be honest, Jason is clearly wrong. You don't have to be lazy or stupid with your grammar to be a bad poet as there's so many other ways you can be a bad poet.

    Speaking of British English: since you pronounce 'z' as 'zed', is 'ZZ Top' 'Zed Zed Top'?
    I don't know, but Zbrush is "zed brush" which makes me giggle every time I hear a tutorial from Britain.

    When I was a young teen I used to be really dedicated to being technically correct in my writing and using my full vocabulary to effect, avoiding vulgarity and using obscure or anachronistic words to prove how intelligent and well-read I was.

    Then I realized that was fucking stupid and I should just write in whatever way is either natural, or funny to me. When I'm bored I like to compose sentences that are structured like little jokes by deliberately contrasting slang, outdated terminology, and/or profanity in a way that creates a sort of sine wave of language.

    The irony is that I'm still terrible at spelling.

    Hearing Japanese announcers say "Dragon Ball Zed" makes me happy. XD

    My British music aficionado friends say "Zee Zee Top" like right proper 'Muhricans.
