IM stuff

[active_apathy]

Because I'm certifiable, I've decided to complete my Trillian's complement of commonly-used instant messaging services with Yahoo!*.‡

Reminiscent of my AIM nick, Y! knows me as 'apathypiratess'. Yay and yarr.

*A question for the fiercely grammatical: Since the name of their company is, in fact, 'Yahoo!', does the exclamation mark count as puncuation in its own right, or is it part of a proper noun - thus calling for an additional stop† should 'Yahoo!' appear at the end of a sentence?
†Which is to say, for those not fiercely punctuated, a character appearing at the end of a sentence - a question mark, exclamation mark or fullstop.
‡Usage confirmed by an actual lexicographer. Wheeee!

Indeed it is. My last test grade would back this up, too, unfortunately.

Bah. When are you ever going to need to know about pharmacology once you get your degree?

...

Oh. Right.

How did all the other unfortunates do?

The email the prof sent out said "I'm very disappointed at the number of low grades." I'm guessing that the others didn't do so well, either.

Everything I will need to know, I will be perfectly capable of looking up online :) So no point in memorizing it now, really.

I suppose that makes sense, but you wouldn't want to make a mess of, say, the proper amount of px/kg of panda-inna-box that should be shown to a given person.

There can never be too much panda-inna-box given, really.

Until it grows out of the box.
