Last November - hence the bizarre facial hair as part of the Movember charity campaign - I was interviewed by Bluewire Media - a Queensland web design agency - as part of their Plugged In interview series.

I wonder if any of you have a memory like this?

I must have been about two or three years old. Either way, my brother, who is fifteen months younger than me, was still in a high chair. I remember that we were on holiday and staying in a holiday apartment or hotel (I'm not sure which). My brother was being fed a boiled egg in his high chair and Dad was talking to Mum.

Agh - few things annoy my linguistic sensibilities more than random capitalisation. Sure, misplaced apostrophes are probably a greater grammatical blot on the language landscape, but the capitalisation of words is more irritating because of its intentional nature.

I'm currently editing and rewriting the copy on a massive IT website and still come across examples of nail-on-blackboard level irritation.
