“Part of one’s despair, of course, is that the world cares nothing for the little shocks endured by the sensitive stickler. While we look in horror at a badly punctuated sign, the world carries on around us, blind to our plight.”

Oh, that was cute! Especially the comment left about Cesar, Ceasar, and Ceaser.
When I got my Grade Twelve (GED) certificate whoever had printed them up spelled the lead word: “Congratulations” wrong. Oh, we laughed!
