Is this really what people think when they see “sent from my iPhone?” In most emails that contain the signature, it isn’t used as an excuse for poor grammar; they have been grammatically correct. Though I agree that “sent from my iPhone,” usually means that the message is going to be short, it does not bother me because at least I know the answer. I can understand your frustration if the answer is not in detail or not sufficient enough to fully inform you though.  I’m not that strict with email etiquette probably because I don’t use it that much, and I usually email professors, so I’m used to getting short replies. The only thing that bothers me is when I ask for advice or help and all they respond is with, “yes.”

Though I think he’s a great lyricist, he’s not a poet. Poetry is its own art form, and I don’t think it should be distorted into thinking it’s just poetic lines. In free verse, which is the more relevant form of poetry nowadays, have their own rules and each poem creates its own sort of form.
It’s nice Poet Laureateship is being brought to the public eye, but poetry is different from lyrics.
If you’re into poets that are still alive, check out Mark Doty. Some other poet’s that are great, but are Poet Laureates are Mark Strand, Ted Kooster, and Donald Hall. Robert Bly, Galway Kinnell, and Jane Kenyon are also great. Sharon Olds is pretty cool and funny. A really good performer is Sean Thomas Dougherty.

Yeah, this isn’t a big deal. It’s comedy. Ask any comedian and one of the ideas of comedy is to make terrible things funny. If you’ve ever watched comedians or listen to them on radio, they’ve said worse things. You can’t get mad at comments like that when it’s comedy. Louis CK went on a radio show and talked about how he has to keep his daughter alive, and talked about Eric Clapton’s kid. It’s using hyperboles for comedic effect, and combined with the idea that they make terrible things funny, they come up with exaggerated awful things to make people laugh. Get the fuck over it. Though I don’t really like Daniel Tosh’s comedy, I have to defend the work of entertainers, especially comedians. Everybody likes to laugh, but stand-up comedy needs to be judged in its own right. You have to understand the way it works. That’s why there are dumb drunks that heckle because they think they’re helping the show out. There are people who don’t know the humor of stand-up comedy.

Pretty sure the last one is a typo, shouldn’t it be, “we’re looking forward TO the stories…?
