Careful, man. Couple years ago I woke up naked in jail and they told me I had written a new init system. Apparently I was ranting about how it would overthrow the established order and then they shot me up with thorazine.

Damn, I hate it when that happens. (I mean the new init system, not the thorazine. Thorazine gets me all dreamy and placid and makes listening to the candidate debates much more bearable.)
Perhaps a hint of the submitter's first language not being english.
Far worse is perpetrated in the language of slashdot submissions. Overuse of 'apt to', 'slated to be', 'stated that', as well as tiresome colloquialisms like 'called out', which is present in this submission and is far worse than the minor grammatical error.
English is not my first language either, but I don't mind when I get CALLED OUT on it (there!). My reasoning is that what does not kill one makes one stronger, like they say in my country, and that the grammar fiends might be pests but they that tend to be peaceful and pacifist pests. I tap my head to the pestifists.

I'm with you on the 'apt to thing', by the way. I actually got so tired of the argument that I blacklisted it in/etc/apt/apt.conf.

A software? Did anybody write a software recently? I wrote three softwares last week.
P.S. there appears to be a problem with logging on. I get a message "wrong image text", which is hardly surprising because there's no image.

That's nothing- I had two whole marijuanas once and ended up accidentally coding an accounts receivable app with a metrics dashboard.
