Nice work Kentriv, way to incorporate the addiction into everyday life.

Tsk tsk. You all just don’t understand Grammar Nazis. You see, they feel a compulsive, irresistible need to critique such errors, in much the same manner as someone suffering from Tourette Syndrome feels compelled to swear or SRP members feel compelled to shave with sharp knives. This tendency seems to be rendered more acute by the general disregard for grammar and spelling prevalent on online communities (ahem...), and I suspect this urge is compounded by seeing such errors in a finished piece submitted for a grade.

In closing, Grammar Nazis do not need our criticisms for their seemingly hard-line attitude, but rather our understanding and our encouragement for them to seek professional psychiatric..Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah


On another note, I should point out, Kentriv (and I bring out the constructive criticism only as this sort of thing seems to be of interest to you professionally, dealing with design for clients and what not), that you might wish to consider whom your target demographic may be more closely. For example, if you intend to convince male college students and twenty-somethings to pick up straight razor shaving, they may not, as a whole, care very much about grammatical snafus. However, the light blue frilly border, fancy script, and mention of ‘obsolete’ and ‘classic’ may be a turn off. Better to focus on the ‘daring’ aspect and the ‘can take your head clean off’ sort of thing, in big bold print; this sort of approach seems to have more resonance with that particular demographic. If, on the other hand, you wish to convince the wives and girlfriends to buy straight razors for their men, the light blue border may work, yet within the context of the ad you may want to consider how emphasize the masculinity of straight razor shaving while simultaneously emphasizing its safety. Proper grammar may be more significant, of course, for this demographic…

As usual, my $0.02 takes $2 worth of time to read… I need to stop writing 3am rants after a few drinks…
