    Thanks a lot. I just lost five IQ points reading that.

    My favorite unnecessary aside is the six-shooter cereal dispenser that is not at the office but at some college.

    $100 internet dollars to the first person who can diagram that sentence.

    I think you're right. If it read, "In his case, he's giving that tour of Reddit's corporate offices..." Right? I still think you'd need something like "and where" before "twentysomething savants..."

    I can't believe I'm saying this, but the two sentences in that graf need to be one sentence, with an em dash separating them. The second doesn't make sense without the first.

    In reference to another thread and post, it is reminiscent of local TV news now.
    In the effort to pack in modifying clauses with 'active sounding' verbals, he forgot an actual verb.
    And also a subject.

    I hope you are experiencing a great sense of self-loathing after writing that.

    More continued confusion than anything else, to be quite honest.
