one should also take under consideration that the purpose of this list
is not to perfect our writing or debating skills, but to _talk_ about
Shadowrun. picking on one another's grammer, spelling, or style is
not conducive toward that purpose, and should be eschewed.

I could tell by his slurred speech, the heavy glaze over his eyes,
and his inability to stand straight that he was under the influence
