I am opinionated, loud, disrespectful, and totally true to myself. I want you to follow me, so I aim to write an online style guide based on my preferences and the guidelines laid out in some of my favorite texts. As this site grows it will come to include: a list of proper spellings, puntuation guidelines, an extended bibliography of references, and my personal blend of archaic, stoic rules and organic, fluid outlines.
