  1. User interfaces like this that try to be all "relatable" in a cutesy, cultivated-marketing-identity manner really rub me the wrong way. I've taught ESL and I've studied other languages and this is really frickin' obnoxious for folks who aren't native speakers. Cut it out, tech companies.

I would relate the failure of SN more to: "A # goal of # is that the basic Web functionality should work on even the most # commercial hosting services." (1) But @mmn is working on improving that too: somewhat # (1) or search for: # queue manager.
