From now on, not only will my writing be available for everyone's enjoyment on the greatest website on the internet (andyposner.org) it will also be available on the 15th most popular website on technorati (http://www.treehugger.com). Yes, that's right, I'm now a Cars and Transportation writer for treehugger! I get paid between $16 and $20 per post, plus I get bonuses depending on how popular my post is. I will be posting on Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. My first post can be read athttp://www.treehugger.com/files/2007/11/honda_unveils_fuelcellcar.phpBe sure to "digg" my posts: that's how I make more money! The cool thing about the job is that it forces me to become more economical in terms of my use of words. The posts aren't long (generally 200-500 words) and they obviously have to get people's attention. Beyond that, I have to learn more about the latest trends in transportation.Of course, the only downside, aside from the fact that I will have to be spending about an hour to an hour and a half per post, is that I have to personally approve all the comments, and so far I have gotten about 5 in the first hour since my post was posted! Oh well, I'm pretty excited about the job. If nothing else, it seems like a great way to network, get my name out there, and add something to my CV.So, check out my writing on treehugger, but don't let that interfere with your obsession with my website. After all, mine is the greatest website on the internet!

For certain registers of speech and in certain dialects, this is actually ‘correct’, or rather, completely grammatical. On the other hand, how can you argue something is ‘incorrect’, if there’s no body that governs English language standards? All of the rules that govern English language ‘correctness’ are based off of random and badly documented traditions; for instance, the Cockney lack of word-initial ‘h’ has affected some usages in North American English that some people consider to be more ‘correct’ than others; while the mere writing of these usages is in opposition to how people actually speak, or in opposition to the grammatical rule that does exist in their speech. Take for example, ‘an historical’; this is perfectly fine if you’re a Cockney speaker: “‘e got an ‘aircut”, but sounds completely wrong if you do pronounce that initial ‘h’, since the rule for a/n usage is one of consonants and vowels.
