   I’m pretty much waiting for Lynn to whip out a Gondor-sized horn, blow it, and watch the forces of Grammar ride up over the hill behind her to charge Garner. The forces of evil must be be given a good talking to! Possibly with a flick behind the ear and a couple of head bonks.

   Quite possibly the cartoonist as well for playing bait the forces of Grammar ;p

      When I make a mistake, I have two choices.

      1. Fix it.
      2. Decide the character made the mistake, and see what happens.

      This interaction popped into my head, so I went with the second option.

   ….I figured he meant what he said. They are coaching people. Acting as the leader of a team, a coach. The people are being coached. If you are deceptive in the coaching you are doing, you are coaching in deception.

      ….though now that a check, he said pretense, not deception, but still works out the same.
